Tom: D
D F? Em7 A7 D F? Em7 A7
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Av - e - nue?
F F? C#7 C7 F F? C#7 C7
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air,
A6 G? Bm7(b5) E7 A6 G? Bm7(b5) E7
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars,
F#m F#m7 B7 C7 A7-9 A7M5 A7
Spending every dime for a wonderful time.
Dm A7 Dm G? Dm A7
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
Dm G? A7 Bm7(b5) A7 Dm F#m Bb9 A7
Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the Ritz.
Dm A7 Dm G? Dm A7
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
Dm G? A7 Bm7(b5) A7 Dm Bb D7
And cutaway coat, perfect fits, puttin' on the Ritz.
Bridge:
Gm A7 F? A7 Dm
Strolling up the av - e - nue so happy,
F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb9 A9
All dressed up just like an English chappie -- very snappy!
Dm A7 Dm G? Dm A7
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Dm G? A7 Bm7(b5) A7 Dm Bb D7
Or "umber-ellas" in their mitts, puttin' on the Ritz.
Bridge 2:
Gm A7 F? A7 Dm
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper,
F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb9 A9
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Dm A7 Dm G? Dm A7
You'll declare it's simply topping to be there
Dm G? A7 Bm7(b5) A7
And hear them swapping smart tid - bits --
Dm Bb9 A7-9
Puttin' on the Ritz,
A9 Dm Bb9 A7-9 A9 Dm Gm6 D6/9
Puttin' on the Ritz, puttin' on the Ritz!
