MY IDEAL
W: Leo Robin

From: the movie “Playboy of Paris”
Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Chet Baker
Key: Eb

 8  -7* 7 -5* -9   8  -7*  7* -7* 7*
Will I ev-er find the girl in my mind
 5   7*  7  7* 7  5  7
The one who is my i-deal
 7  -6  -5  -3*  7*   7  -7*  7   -7*  7
May-be she’s a dream and yet she might be
 -5* -6  7   -7*  8   8    -8  -6*  7* -7*
Just a-round the cor-ner, wait-ing for me
 8  -7* 7 -5*  -9  8  -7*  7* -7*  7*
Will I re-cog-nize a light in her eyes
 5   7*  7  7*  7   5   8
That no oth-er eyes re-veal
5   7  -6  -5*  5 -7*  7*  7 -7* -9 8   8
Or will I pass her by and nev-er ev-en know
-9*  -5* 5  -6 7  -5*
That she is my i-deal

Repeat to “Or will I pass her by” but replace with

5   7   -6  -5* 5  -7*  7*  7  -7*  -9
Al-tho’ she may be late I trust in fate
 8  8 -9* -5*  5  -6 7  -5*
And so I wait for my i-deal

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