You're The Top chords by Cole Porter

Guitar chords with lyrics


As performed in the 2011 revival of Anything Goes (F, M, and B denote Female, Male and 'Both')
F:
  Bb      Bdim Cm7  F7
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
    Bb      C#dim  G7
That I always have found it best,
  Gaug  Cm         Eb F7
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
      Bb  Cm7 F7
To let 'em rest unexpressed,
 Bb      Bdim Cm7 F7
I hate parading my  serenading
    Bb    Gm7  A7
As I'll probably miss a bar,
  Dm   Gm6   Dm   C7
But if this ditty is not so pretty
  F7                   Faug
At least it'll tell you how great you are.
🎸

   D      Ebdim Em7   A7
Your words poetic are  not pathetic.
    D      Fdim   B7
On the other hand, babe, you shine,
