  Bei Mir Bis Du Schoen is pretty much Am, Dm and E7 as I recall but I don't have a chart. I think it is basically:
  
  Am / / / E7 / Am E7
  Am / / / E7 / Am /
  Dm / Am / Dm / E7 /
  (repeat A section)
  
  Each / is a whole measure

  Here are a couple of takes on Bei Mir...it's a fun tune, but people should follow Hans'che Weiss' lead and play the verse, which sets up the chorus so well!

  I've got the verse written out somewhere; maybe I'll get around to digging it out...in the meantime, you can hear The Andrews Sisters do it here:

  Here's the intro, which couldn't be much simpler to play but provides a great way to add some drama to the tune...this version is in Am; it seems like there was never a real consensus on a standard key for this tune.

  That version you post here seems to be the intro and not the "core" of the song. I think there is a modulation from the intro to the actual song. The core of the song typically was Em when I play it and the melody follows the Em arp.

  Yeah, this is the verse--most people just play the chorus (the part that starts with "Bei Mir...") But if I remember right there's no modulation--if you play the chorus in Em, just transpose this intro...here's the Hans'che version I mentioned as an example.

  Althought the original version is played half step below, starting with Ab.

  @djangology: my grille of "Bei dir war es immer so schön" doesn't work with you just because you heard a different version. anyway, let me know if i can help you with that, ok?
