SOMEBODY ELSE IS TAKING MY PLACE was written with words and the music by Dick Howard, Bob Ellsworth, and Russ Morgan and recorded in 1942 by Benny Goodman # 1 Vocal by Peggy Lee.

Here are the words and guitar chords to this lovely tune in the (Key Of G)

(G) Somebody else (A7) is taking my place
(D) Somebody else (G) Shares your embrace
(C) Now while I'm trying (G) To keep from (E) Crying
(A7) You go around (D) With a smile on your face

(G) Little you care (A7) For the vows that we made
(D) Little you care (G) How much I have paid
(C) My heart is aching (G) Soon will be (E) Breaking
(A7) For someone (D) Is taking (G) My place

I learned the Parody while in the service between 1942 and 1946 and I have no idea who wrote the Parody

(G) Somebody else (A7) is taking my place
(D) Somebody else (G) is filling my space
(C) While I was out working (G) She let that jerk (E) in
