C 
She 
                         Eb? 
May be the face I can't forget 
                           F 
A trace of pleasure or regret 
                            C              A7 
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
 Dm                             Fm6 
She may be the song that summer sings
                              C
May be the chill that autumn brings
                            Dm7 
May be a hundred different things
             G7         C      F   Dm7   G
Within the measure of a day.
 

C
She
                         Eb? 
May be the beauty or the beast
                          F 
May be the famine or the feast
                          C           A7 
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
 Dm                           Fm6
She may be the mirror of my dreams
                        C
A smile reflected in a stream
                             D7 
She may not be what she may seem 
  G7        C    G7  C Eb? F C A7 Dm Fm6 C Dm G7 C
Inside her shell
 

Ab                                  Eb
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
                                      Db 
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
                                        C 
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
 Fm             Bb                      Eb 
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
            C                       D7
May come to me from shadows of the past
                                   G 
That I'll remember till the day I die
 

C 
She
                      Eb? 
May be the reason I survive
                            F 
The why and wherefore I'm alive 
                         C                   A7 
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Dm                                Fm6
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears 
                      C
And make them all my souvenirs
                               D7 
For where she goes I've got to be
             G7        
The meaning of my life is
F    C   Dm7  G4/7            C
She, she,          [ohhhhh]  she
