I wasn’t satisfied with the two existing versions of this so I decided to give it a try. Chords are based on Ella’s quite well known 1933 version of this wonderful standard featuring the vocal quartet "Ink Spots". Key: Bb Verse (00:09) Say it’s only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me same for next Verse Yes its only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it would be make believe if you believed in me Chorus (00:40) Without your love it’s a honky-tonk parade without your love it’s a melody played in the penny arcade Verse (0:56) same as first verse It’s a barnum and bailey world just as phoney as it can be but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me (Ink Spots) Say it’s only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea but it wouldnt be make-believe if you believed in me Yes it’s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me Chorus (1:43) as before repeat twice Possible chord voicings: You can always make up your own depending on what effect you’re aiming for & what instruments you’re plaing with. These are just some suggestions.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'idée que même si le monde semble artificiel et peu réel, il prend une toute autre dimension lorsque l'on croit en l'amour qui unit deux personnes. Les métaphores utilisées, comme le ciel en toile ou la mer en carton, soulignent le caractère éphémère et illusoire de la vie sans cet amour. Tout devient plus significatif et véritable si l'on considère la force des sentiments. L'artiste exprime ainsi la nécessité de la connexion humaine pour donner sens à une existence qui, autrement, semblerait vide et superficielle.
