C C       C#dim C#dim    Dm7 Dm7       G7 G7
Say, its only a paper moon
Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7 C C
Sailing over a cardboard sea
C C A7 A7 F F Fm6 Fm6
But it wouldn't be make-believe
C C G7 G7 C C G7 G7
If you believed in me

C C C#dim C#dim Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7 C C
Hanging over a muslin tree
C C C7 C7 F F Fm6 Fm6
But it wouldn't be make-believe
C C G7 G7 C C C7 C7
If you believed in me

F F F#dim F#dim C C A7 A7
Without your love
Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7 C C C7 C7
It's a honky-tonk parade
F F F#dim F#dim C C A7 A7
Without your love
Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

C C C#dim C#dim Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Dm7 Dm7 G7 G7 C C
Just as phony as it can be
C C C7 C7 F F Fm6 Fm6
But it wouldn't be make-believe
C C G7 G7 C C
If you believed in me

I think the song matches MUCH better if you play the baritone chords on a soprano ukulele (aka play a CM like an FM and etc...) Otherwise very good!
