SPRING WILL BE A LITTLE LATE THIS YEAR
By: Frank Loesser
Ella Fitzgerald, Carly Simon
Key: Eb


Verse: 
 7  7  7 7*-7*  7  7   7 7* -7* 
Jan-u-ar-y and Feb-ru-ar-y were 
 7  7  7   7  7* -7*   5
nev-er so emp-ty and gray
-3* -3*  -3*-3* -3*  -3* -6* -6
Tra-gic'-lly I feel like cry-ing 
 -5*  -3* -3* -3* -3*  -3*  -3* -7* 7*
"With-out you, my dar-ling, I'm dy-ing."
 7   -5*  -5* -5* -5* -5* -5* -6 
But let's rath-er put it this way:

Chorus: 
  -7*  -3*  5 -3* 5  -3*  8   -7*   -5
SPRING WILL BE A LIT-TLE LATE THIS YEAR,
-3* 5 -3*  8  -7* -5  -5*
A lit-tle late ar-riv-ing 
-6 7   7* -6*  7    7*-6*  7
in my lone-ly world o-ver here
-5* -9   8   -7* -5*
For you have left me, 
-5*  -5* -5* -5* -5*-5* -5*-5*
and where is our Ap-ril of old?
-9   8   -7* -5*
You have left me, 
-5* -6  -6  -6  -6   7*  -4
and win-ter con-tin-ues cold, 
-5 -6 7* -8    -7*  -3*  5
As if to say Spring will be
-3* 5 -3*   8  -7*  -5
a lit-tle slow to start,
-3* 5 -3*  8  -7* -5  -5*  -6  
A lit-tle slow re-viv-ing that 
7   7* -6*  7  7* -6*  7
mu-sic it made in my heart.
-5*   -9    8   -7*   -5*
Yes, time heals all things, 
-5*-5* -5* -5*  -5* -5*  -5*  -8
so  I need-n't cling to this fear,
 -5   -6  7*  8     -7*  -3*  5
It's mere-ly that SPRING WILL BE 
-3* 5 -3*  8    -5  -5*
A LIT-TLE LATE THIS YEAR.

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
