LITTLE WHITE LIES
By Walter Donaldson
Ella Fitzgerald
Key: G

-5   -4  -5   7 -8  8
The moon was all a-glow 
-8   8   8   -8 -7   7   -5*
and hea-ven was in your eyes
-9   -8    -9  -8   -9   6
The night that you told me 
-9     -8 -9   -8     6
those lit-tle white lies
-5   -4    -5    7   -8   8
The stars all seemed to know, 
-8    -8   8  8   -8  -7    7    -5*
that you did-n't mean all those sighs
-9   -8    -9   -8  -9   6
The night that you told me, 
-9     -8 -9    6     7
those lit-tle white lies
7 -6*  7*   -6*  -6* -6* -6*  7*
I try but there's no for-get-ting 
-6*  -6*   7* -6* -6*
when eve-ning ap-pears
7  -7   -8   -7    -7 -7  -7   -8
I sigh but there's no re-gret-ting 
-7   -7  -8 -7  -7
in spite of my tears

-5   -4 -4 -5   7  -8    8
The Dev-il was in your heart, 
-8   8   8  -8  -7  7    -5*
but hea-ven was in your eyes
-9   -8    -9   -8  -9   6
The night that you told me 
-9     -8  -9   6     7
those lit-tle white lies!
7 -6*  7*   -6*  -6* -6* -6*  7*
I try but there's no for-get-ting 
-6*  -6*  7* -6*  -6*
when eve-ning ap-pears
7  -7   -8   -7    -7 -7  -7   -8
I sigh but there's no re-gret-ting 
-7   -7  -8 -7  -7
in spite of my tears

-5    -4  -4  -5   7    -8     8
Who would-n't be-lieve those lips, 
-8   8  8   -8   -7     7   -5*
who ev-er could doubt those eyes?
-9   -8    -9  -8   -9   6
The night that you told me 
-9     -8  -9   6    7
those lit-tle white lies
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
