ONE FOR MY BABY &ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD
by: Johnny Mercer & Harold Arlen


Its quar-ter to three,
-5*  6    5  5   -5
There’s no one in the place 
3       6  -5  6  -6   7
‘cept you and me
6      6   5  -5
So set ‘em up Joe
3   6   5  6   -5
I got a lit-tle stor-y 
3  6 -5  6   -6   7 -6
I think you ought-ta know
3   6   5     6   5   -5

Were drink-ing my friend
5     -7   -6  -7   7
To the end of a brief ep-i-sode
-7 -6   7  3  3  6    7  6  7
So make it one for my ba- by
5   5   5   6   6  7  6-5 5
And one more for the road
3   -6   6    3   3   5

I know the rou-tine
7* 7*   6   7* -6*
Put an-oth-er nick-el  
7*  -6* 7* -7  -8  -7 
in that there ma-chine
-4  7*    7*  6   -6*   
I’m feel-ing so bad
-4   7*   6  7* -6*
Won’t you make the mus-ic 
7*    -6*  7*  -7  -8  -7 
ea-sy and sad
-8 7*  6  -6*
I could tell you a  lot
8* 8*    8*   8* -7 -8
But you’ve got to be true to your code
8*    -7   -8  -7 -6* 7*  -7 -7*   -8  

So make it one for my ba-by
6   6   6   7*  7* -8 -6* 6
And one more for the road
-4  -7   7*   6  -6*  6

You’d nev-er know it
-7    -7  7   -8  6    
But bud-dy I’m a kind of po-et
6   -7  7  -7  7  -7  7  -8 6
And I’ve got a lot of things I wan-na say
6    6    7* -8 -7 7*   6    6  6  -4  6
And if I’m gloom-y, please lis-ten to me
6   -7  7   -8   6   -7     -7  7  -8 6
Till its all, all talked a-way
-6*   6  -6*  -6*  -6*   -4 7

Well, that’s how it goes
-4      7     7   6 -6*
And Joe I know you’re get-tin 
-4   7 -6* 7*   -7    -8  -7
Anx-ious to close
7*   7*  6   -6*
So thanks for the cheer
-4   7*   7*   6   -6*
I hope you did-n’t mind
-4  7* -6*  7* -7   -8   
My bend-ing your ear
8*  -8  7*   7*  -6*

But this torch that I’ve found
-8   8*    8*   8*   -7   -8
It’s got to be drowned
6    8*  -7 -7*  -8
Or it soon might ex-plode
6  6   7*   -7   -7* -8
So make it one for my ba-by
6   6   6   7*  7* -8 -6* 6
And one more for the road
-4  -7   7*   6  -6*  7*   
That long, that long, man it’s long
5*    7*    5*   7*    7*  7*   7*
It’s a long, long, long road
-4   5* 6     6     6    6
