[Verse 1]
       D               A              F#m      G
It's 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#mG  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

Like the breezes here in old Shanghai

Em             F#m               Bm
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing
G            A7       D
Evening's 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

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

It's the same old sun up in the sky

And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
