Verse 1
      D               A              F#m      G
Its funny how you sound as if you're right next door

          D              Bm         Em-A7
When you're really half a world away

      D               A              F#m      G
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for

      D              Bm         Em-A7
To say the things that I need to say

Verse 2
      D               A              F#m      G
I can't remember when I felt so close to you

          D              Bm         Em-A7
It's almost more than I can bear

      D               A              F#m      G
Though I seem a half a million miles from you

          D              Bm           Em-A7
You are in my heart and living there

Chorus 1
      D             G                   D          Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see

        Em                A7        D    A7
It's the same old sun up in the sky

        D             G              D       Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me

        Em                A7          D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai

Em - F#m -G - A7

Verse 3
      D               A              F#m         G
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park

          D         Bm      Em  A7
And lovers who walk all alone

      D               A              F#m         G
There are lovers who lie unafriad in the dark

          D         Bm    Em  A7
And lovers who long for home

Verse 4
 D                   A          F#m       G
I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to

          D              Bm        Em-A7
You're in my dreams and always near

      D               A              F#m         G
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you

          D              Bm        Em-A7
You are in my heart and living there

Chorus 2
      D             G                   D          Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see

        Em                A7        D    A7
It's the same old sun up in the sky

        D             G              D       Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me

        Em                A7          D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai


Interlude
Em             F#m               Bm
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing

G           A7       D
Evenings sweet caress

Em             F#m               D
Shanghai breezes soft and gentle

  G          Em          A7
Reminds me of your tenderness

Chorus 3
     D             G                   D          Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see

        Em                A7        D    A7
It's the same old sun up in the sky

        D             G              D       Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me

        Em                A7          D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai

Outro-Chorus
     D             G                   D          Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see

        Em                A7        D    A7
It's the same old sun up in the sky

        D             G              D       Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me

        Em                A7          D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
