They Can’t Take That Away From Me 

By George & Ira Gershwin 

Form the film “Shall We Dance 

 

(This portion is not in the chords provided) 

Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note 

Though by tomorrow you're gone 

The song has ended but as the songwriter wrote, 

The melody lingers on. 

 

They may take you from me, 

I'll miss your fond caress 

But though they take you from me,  

I'll still possess... 

 

(Chords start here) 

The way you wear your hat 

The way you sip your tea 

The memory of all that 

No they can't take that away from me  

The way your smile just beams 

The way you sing off key 

The way you haunt my dreams 

No, no they can't take that away from me  

 

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love 

Still I'll always, always keep the memory of  

 

The way you hold your knife 

The way we danced till three 

The way you changed my life 

No, no they can't take that away from me 

No, they can't take that away from me.
