She's doing it in A. I transposed to C for my vocal range.
Covered by dozens of people.
I worked up the chords for the (somewhat atonal) intro. Improvements welcome.
The rest of the arrangement is from my most excellent teacher Ricky Howerd of Bonita Springs, FL.

[Intro]

Cmaj7   C7        Fmaj7   F6
Old Man Sunshine, listen, you,
Cmaj7  C7      Fmaj7       F6
Never tell me dreams come true,
     Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7  G7               Cmaj7  Am7  B7sus4  B7
Just try it,         and I'll start a riot,
Em      EmM7    Em7       A7
Beatrix Fairfax don't you dare,
Cmaj7  C7      Fmaj7    F6
Ever  tell me she will care,
    Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7          G7
I'm certain,        It's the final curtain.
Dm7                           G7            Cmaj7
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas,
Am7                D7                Dm          G7
Who tells you fate supplies the mate, it's all bananas.

[Short intro]

Cmaj7 A7+5 Dm9 G13  Cmaj7 F13 Em7 A7

[Verse]

                D9        G13
They're writing songs  of love,
               Cmaj7   F13
but  not   for me,
Em7  A7+5   D9      G13
   A lucky  star's above,
            Cmaj7
but not for me,

[Bridge]

Gm7    C7-9    Fmaj7       Bb7
  With love to lead the way,
             Cmaj7     Am7
I found more clouds of gray,
         D9                       Dm9
Than any Russian play could guarantee.

[Verse]

G13  A7+5  D9      G13
  I  was a fool to fall,
             Cmaj7   F13
and get that way,
Em7  A7+5   D9      G13
  Hi ho! Alas! And also
       Cmaj7
Lack a day!

[Outro]

Gm7  Gb7-5    Fmaj7        Bb9
  Al though I can't dismiss,
           Cmaj7  F13     Em7
The memory of     his     kiss,
A7+5           Dm9     G13
 I guess he’s  not for me.
            Cmaj7
No, not for me.
