From: “West-Side Story
Key: C, Bb

  8   7     8   -6*
Could be!  Who knows? 
   8    -6*    7   -7 -6* 7  6
There's some-thing due an-y day; 
-6* 7   -7   -6*  7  6
I will know right a-way, 
 -6*  7  8  -7*
Soon as it shows. 
-7 -7   -7  -7  -7  -7   -7
It may come can-non-bal-ling 
-7      7    -6  -7
down through the sky, 
  -7  7  -6  -7
Gleam in its eye, 
  -7   7 -6   8 
Bright as a rose! 

 8   -6*
Who knows? 
 8  -6*  7  -7  -6*  7   6
It's on-ly just out of reach, 
-6*   7   -7   -6* 7   6
Down the block, on a beach, 
-6* 7  8  -7*
Un-der a tree. 
-7-7 -7  -7  -7    -7    7 -7  7 -6  -7
I got a feel-ing there's a mir-a-cle due, 
-7  7   -6   -7     -7  7  -6 -9
Gon-na come true,  Com-ing to me!

  6   -6  7   6   -6   -5
Could it be? Yes, it could. 
  6    -6    -7* -7*    6    -6   -5
Some-thing's com-ing, some-thing good, 
6 -6 -7*  7*
If I can wait! 

  7     7     7   7
Some-thing's com-ing, 
7  -5*    7    7 -5*  7
I don't know what it is, 
 7 -5*  7  -7* 7 -5*  -6
But it is gon-na be great! 

  6 -6   7     6  -6   -6
With a click, with a shock, 
   6  -6  -7* -7*    6  -6    -5
Phone-'ll jin-gle, door-'ll knock, 
6  -6 -7*   7*
Op-en the latch! 
 -7    -7    -7  -7    -7    -6   -7
Some-thing's com-ing, don't know when, 
-7   -6   -7    -7   -6   -7
but it's soon; catch the moon, 
 8   -7  -6   7
One-hand-ed catch! 

KEY: C

7   -9  10   9   7
A-round the cor-ner, 
7   -9    10   -10 10  10  9
Or whist-ling down the riv-er, 
  7 -7*  8  -7  -6 -6 -9
Come on, de-liv-er to me! 

KEY: Bb

  6  -6  7   6   -6  -5
Will it be? Yes, it will. 
 6  -6 -7* -7*  6   -6   -5
May-be just by hold-ing still, 
6   -6 -7*   7*
It-'ll  be there! 

 -7  -7   -7    -7    -7  -6 -7
Come on, some-thing, come on in, 
 -7   -6 -7    -7 -6 -7
don't be shy, meet a guy, 
  8  -7-6   7
Pull up a chair! 
 
KEY: C

7  -9   10  9    7
The air is hum-ming, 
 7   -9   10    -10  10  9   7
And some-thing great is com-ing! 

 8    -6*
Who knows? 
 8  -6*  7  -7  -6*  7   6
It's on-ly just out of reach, 
 -6*  7   -7   -6* 7   6
Down the block, on a beach, 
-6* 7  8   -7*
May-be to-night . . .
