Young at Heart

I'm pretty sure the first time I heard this - or the time I first remember hearing this - was Pooky singing to Soupy...  Damn if this doesn't have a lot more than three chords!


       A              A9           A        AM7
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
A7        Bm7-5      E7
If you're young at heart;
          E7           Bm7-5       E7        E7+5
For it's hard, you will find to be narrow of mind
           A
If you're young at heart.
       C#m7-5       F#7          C#m7-5            F#7
You can  go  to extremes with im - pos - si - ble schemes,
 B7/9            B7          B7/9         B7 
Laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams;
     E7       Gdim    E7    Gdim      E7
And life gets more exciting with each passing day,
     A6      Fdim   A6     Fdim     Bm7-5     E7
And love is either in your heart, or  on  its way.

            A             A9          A          AM7
Don't you know that it's worth ev'ry treasure on earth
 A7   Bm7-5     E7
To be young at heart;
        E7         Bm7-5          E7       E7+5
For as rich as you are, it's much better by far
       A
To be young at heart.
       B7/9           B7       B7/9         B7
And if you should survive to a hundred and five,
       B7/9           B7          E      Em
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive.
     A                      E7          Bm7-5   E7
And here is the best part - you'll have a head start
A           D9            Bm7-5      A
If you are among the very young at heart,

A          D9             Bm7-5  E7   A
If you are among the very young  at heart.
