1. Look at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree,

                 Gm                           D              Bm

    oh, I’m walkin’ on a cloud, I can’t understand, Lord,

G                 - A7                     D       - Em - A

    I’m misty,       holdin’ your hand.

2. Walk my way, and a thousand violins began to play,

                                Gm                                    D        Bm

    or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear, Lord,

G                 - A7                                 D     - C - D

    I’m misty        the moment you’re near.

 

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   Am                   - D

    You can say that you’re leading me on,

                                   G

    but it’s just what I want you to do,

                                       Bm                          - E

    don’t you notice how hopelessly I’m lost,

                                            A - A7

    that’s why I’m following y........ou.

 

                F#m                 C                             D7                G

3. On my own, should I wander through this wonderland alone ?

                                   Gm                                     D                  Bm

    Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove, Lord,

G                       - A7                            D      - C - D

    I’m too misty         and too much in love.

4. On my own, should I wander through this wonderland alone ?

    Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove, Lord,

G                       - A7                            D       C

    I’m too misty         and too much in love, misty.

                          D       C                          D     - C

    Too much in love, misty, too much in love ...
