Sailing over a c | ardboard sea |

Hanging over a m | uslin tree |
| Bb |
But it wouldn't be | make-believe |
| Am7 | G7 | F |
It's a h | onky-t | onk par | ade |
| G7 | C7 |
It's a m | elody played in a p | enny arcade |
| F | C7 |
It's a B | arnum and B | ailey world |
| F |
Just as phony as | it can be |
| Bb |
But it wouldn't be | make-believe |
