Key of C

Dean Martin brought You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You to the Top 40 in 1964, and it became one of his signature songs. It was written 20 years earlier by Russ Morgan – a bandleader and popular radio host who first released the tune in 1945 with his orchestra

You’re [C] nobody til [E] somebody [A] loves you.  You’re [Dm] nobody til [G] somebody [C] cares.
– –
You [Em] may be king, you [Dm] may possess the [F] world and it’s [G] gold.
– –
But [Dm] gold won’t bring you [D] happiness when [F] you’re growing [G] old

The [C] world still is the [E] same, you never [A] change it – As [Dm] sure as the [A] stars shine [Dm] above – – You’re [F] nobody til [D]  somebody [C]  loves [A]  you, so [Dm] find yourself some-[G]-body to [C] love.  [ F C ]

ROBERT’S VERSE:
You [C] can make a [E] difference if you [A] want to.
You [Dm] can make a [G] difference you [C] see.
– –
You just [Em] may think that [Dm] anything you [F] do,
– – will [G] not make a dent, in [F] money already [G] spent.

But [C] drop by drop these [E] things , will [A] alter.
[Dm] Step by step these [G] things will [C] change
– – So be [Em] kind to the world, and [Dm] people right [F] there
– – and [G] soon you’ll see a [F] difference; A [G] difference everywhere

Yes, the [C] earth still is the [E] same, you never [A] change it
– As [Dm] sure as the [A] stars shine [Dm] above
– – But [F] you can, my [D] friend, change it [C] all in the [A] end,
so [Dm] find yourself some-[G]-body. . . .
and [Dm] you can be some-[G]-body to [C] love.
maybe [Dm] someday every-[G]-body will [C] love
[ F C ]
