PENTHOUSE SERENADE
By: Will Jason & Val Burton
Marianne Faithfull, Stan Getz 
Key: C

 3   -5   -5 -5  5     5    5  -4 -4 -4  -3
Just pic-ture a pent-house way up in the sky
 -3    4  4  4   -3   -3  -3    3   3  3  2
With hing-es on chim-neys for stars to go by
2   3     3   3   2   2   2   3    3   3  2
A sweet slice of Heav-en for just you and I
 2     1   4  3
When we're a-lone.

 3   -5  -5 -5 5  5  5  -4    -4 -4  -3
From all of so-ci-e-ty we'll stay a-loof
-3   4   4   4  -3 -3 -3   3   3   3   2
And live in pro-pri-e-ty there on the roof.
 2   3   3  3   2   2   2   3   3  3    2
Two heav-en-ly her-mits we will be in truth
 2     1  -1*  1
When we're a-lone.
 
 -1   -2    2     3  -2   -3
We'll see life's mad pat-tern
-3 3   4   -4  -5   5   6
As we view old Man-hat-tan
 6   -5  6    5   -5   -4  4  -3
Then we can thank our luck-y stars
 -4    4   -3  -4  3  -3 -2
That we're liv-ing as we are.

3  -5  -5  -5   5    5
In our lit-tle pent-house 
  5   -4  -4  -4   -3
we'll al-ways con-trive
-3  4    4    4  -3  -3   -3  3  3  3  2
To keep love and ro-mance for-ev-er a-live
2   3   3   3   2   2   2    3 3   3    2
In view of the Hud-son just ov-er the drive,
 2     1   4  4
When we're a-lone.

REPEAT

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