I'm

Bm7-5

A

man a magical inspi-

There's
Gm7
nothing in life I could name
B♭m7

E♭7

Like
Dm7
Paris with Bud in the rain
G7

The

Nothing will

Now
FM7
some folks think that Bud is a beer
Bm7-5
--
B♭7

I
Am7
hear ridiculous alle-
D7(♭9)
gations
But
Gm7
Bud was a man with a heart
B♭m7
--
E♭7
--
Though
Dm7
pain tried to tear him apart
G7
--
G♯dim7
--
A
Am7
genius and a
D7
soul who gave us s-
Gm7
pecial inspi-
D♭7
ration
C7

Talkin' a-

Let's make it a
E♭7
new day
Don't
Am7
think about a
D7
blue day
A♭m7
I dream a
D♭m7
true day free from
Gm7
suffering and
C7
sorrow
So
FM7
take a tip and listen to Bud
Bm7-5

B♭7

Up
Am7
there on a cloud just like a
D7(♭9)
Buddha
And
Gm7
let yourself sing with your heart
B♭m7

E♭7

No

don't let pain tear you apart

There's
