>>"Coney Island Baby"
Gosh all the chords online suck for this song.
Okay so there's a key change, the first part of the song is in Eb major, the second in F major.
These are the chords you need to know:

((I learned to play this song on the ukulele, I chose these chord positions based on how
I also choose to play the ukulele. I've also tried out the song on the guitar in these
chord positions, and it sounds dandy! It makes the key change visually apparent, and
allows for quick, fluid movement along the fret board. If you feel like changing the chord
positions, feel free! These made the most sense to me.))
It's in 3/4 timing, a waltz.
[Bb7] [Eb] [Bb7] [Eb]
[Eb]Every night sh[Bb7]e comes
To take me out to [Eb]dreamland
When I'm[Bb7] with her I'm the richest man in the [Eb]town
She's a rose, She's a [Bb7]pearl
She's the spin on my [Eb]world
All the [Bb7]stars make their wishes on her[Eb] eyes
She's my Coney Island [Ab]baby
She's my [Eb]Coney [Bb7]Island [Eb]girl
She's a [Bb7]princess, in a [Eb]red dress
She's the [Ab]moon in the mist to [Eb]me
She's my Coney Island [Ab]baby
She's my [Eb]Coney [Bb7]Island [Eb]girl
((KEY CHANGE TO F))
In this in between part: strum, pick, do your thing, w.e.
Play along with the same pacing as you would as if the words were being sung up until
after the first "Coney Island Girl", then go back to the beginning and play it from the
top in the new key:
[F]Every night s[C7]he comes
To take me out to [F]dreamland
When I'm [C7]with her I'm the richest man in the [F]town
She's a rose, She's a [C7]pearl
She's the spin on my [F]world
All the [C7]stars make their wishes on her [F]eyes
She's my Coney Island [Bb]baby
She's my [F]Coney [C7]Island [F]girl
She's a [C7]princess, in a[F] red dress
She's the [Bb]moon in the mist to [F]me
She's my Coney Island [Bb]baby
She's my [F]Coney [C7]Island [F]girl
She's my Coney Island [Bb]baby
She's my [F]Coney [C7]Island [F]girl
