Bei Mir Bist Du Schön

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that ɾeally fit you
And so I've ɾacked my [A]brain, hoping to [C7]explain
All the things that you [A7do to [C7]me

Bei mir bist do schon, please let me explain
Bei mir bist do schon [C7]means you're grand
Bei mir bist do schon, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I've tɾied to [C7]explain, bei mir bist do schon
So kiss me and [Bm]say you [A7understand

Bei mir bist do schon, you've heard it all [Em]before
but let me tɾy to [C7]explain
Bei mir bist do schon [C7]means that you're grand
Bei mir bist do schon, it's such an old ɾefrain
and [Bm]yet I should explain
It means I am begging for [Dm7]your hand

I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you [A7how grand [Bm]you [A7are

I've tɾied to [C7]explain, bei mir bist do schon
So kiss me and [Bm]say that you [A7will understand
