Misc Musicals – Once Upon A Mattress - Shy (Guitar)

Ab    Abm    Ab    Abadd4
                   Some-

Ab    Abm    Ab    Abadd4
one's be  -  ing   bash-

Ab    Abm    Ab
ful!

Bbm/Eb                 Ab/Eb
That's       no way to be,

Eb7      Ab   Ab6
Not with me.

Ab4    Eb4   F/C
Can't  you   see

      Bb/F
That  I  am just as embarrassed as you,

    F7                             Bb7
And I can understand your point of view--

                 Eb
I've always been shy!

Ab/Bb               Bb7  Eb
      I confess it, I'm  shy!

Ab/Bb                      Bb7
      Can't you guess that this

Eb/Db         Gdim
Confident air is a

Eb/C              Db/Eb     Bb     Bb7
Mask that I wear 'cause I'm shy?

               Eb
And you may be sure,

Ab/Bb                    Bb7  Eb
      Way down deep, I'm de - mure!

Ab/Bb           Bb7
      Though some people I

Eb/Db         Gdim
Know might deny it,

   Eb/C           Db/Eb  Ab6
At bottom I'm qui-et and pure.

                    Fdim7   Bb7add4
I'm aware that it's wrong

      Ebm        Ebm/Db
To be meek as I  am;

   Abm/Cb      Bb7     Eb
My chances may pass me by.

                Fdim7  Bb7add4
I pretend to be strong,

       Ebm       Ebm/Db
But as weak as I am,

Abm/Cb    Abm   Fdim/Db
All I can do is try--

            Eb
God knows I try!

Ab/Bb                       Bb7  Eb
      Though I'm frightened and  shy!

Ab/Bb                 Bb7  Db/Eb
      And despite the im - pression I give,

        Ab            Abm/Eb  Cm     Eb/F
I con - fess that I'm living  a lie,

            Bb7sus            Ab9
Because I'm actually terribly timid

    Bb7      Eb
And horribly shy!
