[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [F] _
[G] _ _ _ [Fm] [C] Emeralds in my bracelets, [Fm] diamonds in [C] my rings, a [C] Riviera [F] Chateau [C] and a [F] lot of other things.
And [C] I'm blue, _ [D] so [Am] blue am [G] _ [F] [G] I.
[G] _ _ _ [F]
[C] I've got [Gb] Harlem on [Dm] my mind, [G] _ _
[Em] [F] and I'm [C] longing to [Fm] be low [D] down.
[C] And my [Ab] [A] parlez-vous [D] will not ring true [C] with Harlem on [F] my [G] mind.
[C] I've been dined [Gb] and I've [Dm] been [G] wined, [C] but [Dm] I'm headed [B] [C] for [Fm] a showdown.
[D] And [C] I [Ab] can't [A] go [Dbm] on [Dm] from [Fm] night till [Ab] dawn with [G] Harlem [Gb] [F] on [G] my [C] mind.
[B] _ _
I [Db] go to supper [Gbm] with a [A] French marquis _
[Em] each [G] evening after [A] the show.
My [G] lips begin to [C] whisper, mon chéri, [Gb] and [G] my heart starts [C] singing.
[G] [Cm] I've [G] _ _
[C] become so [Gb] darn [F] refined _ [G] [Am] that at night [Dm] I [C] hate [Ab] to go down
to [C] that [Bb] [C] highfalutin' flat [Ab] that [C] Lady [Am] Mendel designed [C]
with Harlem [G] on [C] my [G] mind. _

[Em] [Db] And when I'm bathing [Gbm] in my marble [B] tub [Em] each [Abm] evening [G] after the show,
[Cm] _
[G] I get to thinking [C] about that cotton [D] club, [G] and my heart [C] starts singing.
[G] _ I've _
[C] become [Eb] so darn [D] [C] refined [F] [G] that [C] at [Dm] night I [C] hate to go [Fm] down
[C] to that flat with 15 million [Ab] [C] Frenchmen [Am] tagging [D]
behind [C] with Harlem _ _ [F] on _
[B] [Cm] my [E] mind.

[Fm] And I first heard it, [Am] the original recording [Bm] of it was by the [Dm] great Ethel Waters,
[F] who [G] was very famous [C] in Harlem.
And _ [F] it's about [G] really [C] not forgetting [Dm] your roots.
