I wasn't satisfied with the two existing versions of this, so I decided to give it a try.
Chords are based on Ella's quite well known 1933 version of this wonderful standard 
featuring the vocal quartet "Ink Spots".

Key: Bb

Verse (00:09)

Bbmaj7   Bdim   Cm7    F9
Say it's only a paper moon
Cm7      F9    Bbmaj7       (F9)
hanging over a cardboard sea
Bb7                Eb6   Edim
but it wouldn't be make-believe
   F9              Bbmaj7   F9
if you believed in me

same for next Verse

Yes, its only a canvas sky
hanging over a muslin tree
but it would be make believe
if you believed in me

Chorus (00:40)

Eb6     Edim   B/F
Without your love
       Cm7   F7      Cmaj7
it's a honky-tonk parade
Eb6      Edim  B/F  G7
without your love
       Cm7                  F7
it's a melody played in the penny arcade

Verse (0:56)
same as first verse

It's a barnum and bailey world
just as phoney as it can be
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me

(Ink Spots)

Say it's only a paper moon
hanging over a cardboard sea
but it wouldnt be make-believe
if you believed in me

Yes it's only a canvas sky
hanging over a muslin tree
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me

Chorus (1:43)

as before,
repeat twice
