Cliff Edwards sings "If I had you"



I really like this song - a 1928 composition by "Irving King" (Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly) with Ted Shapiro.
Good for ukulele or guitar. The words and chords are below if anyone wants to use them; they'll probably get jumbled up ,

F F7
I could show the world how to smile
Bb Bbm
I could be glad all of the while
F Am7 Gm7
I could change the grey skies to blue
C7 F Dm Gm7 C7
If I had you
F F7
I could leave the old days behind
 Bb Bbm
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
F Am7 Gm7
I could start my life anew
C7 F Bb F F7
If I had you
Am E7
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Am E7
Sail the mighty ocean wide
Am E7
I could cross the burning desert
Am Gm7 C7
If I had you by my side
 F F7
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Bb Bbm
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
F Am7 Gm7
There is nothin' I couldn't do
C7 F Dm Gm7 C7
If I had you

instrumental/ whistle to 2nd verse then repeat bridge and verse 3
