EASTER PARADE
By Irving Berlin
From “As Thousands Cheer”
Key: Bb

-5   5*  -5  5  -3* -5
In your East-er bon-net, 
5    -3* -3    -3*  -3 3 -3*
with all the frills up-on it
3      -2  2   -2   -1* -1 -2
You'll be the grand-est la-dy 
-3* 4   -5  5  -3*  5
in the East-er pa-rade

-5   5* -5  5  -3*  -5
I'll be all in clov-er 
5    -3*  -3   -3* -3  3 -3*
and when they look you o-ver
3    -2  2   -2   -1* -1  -2  
I'll be the proud-est fel-low 
-3* 4   -5 -3*  5  -3*
in the East-er pa-rade

-3* -4  4 4  4    -3*   4 4  4
On the Av-e-nue, Fifth Av-e-nue
4    4* -5  -5  -5    5    6   6
The pho-tog-ra-phers will snap us
5     -6    -6   5    -5*
And you'll find that you're
-5*-3* -5 -5  -3  5
In the ro-to-grav-ure

5* -5   5*   -5   5*-3* -5
Oh, I could write a son-net 
5 -3*   -3   -3* -3  3  -3*
a-bout your East-er bon-net
3   -2  2   -2  -1* -1  -2
And of the girl I'm tak-ing 
-3* 4   -5 -3*  5  -3*
to the East-er pa-rade


[alternate bridge for Great Britain:]
To the Park we'll go
Round Rotten Row
The photographers will snap us
And then you'll be seen
In the smart magazine
