Lyrics

If I were a rich man

with a mil lion or two,

I’d live in a pent house

in a (F9)room

with a (Bb7)view.

And if I were hand some,

’cause dreams do come (Abm6)true,

I (C7)would n’t have (F7)noth in’ if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have (Eb7)you.

(Gb)Would n’t have (Db)noth in’ if I (Ab)did n’t have,

(Db)would n’t have (Ab)noth in’ if I did n’t have,

(Db)would n’t have (Bb)noth in’.

For years I have en vied

your grace and your charm.

Ev ’ry one loves you,

you know.

Yes, I (Bb7)know, I know, I know.

But I must ad (Eb9)mit it,

big guy, you al ways come (Abm6)through.

I (C7)would n’t have (F9)noth ing if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have (Eb)you.

You and (Abmaj7)me to (D7sus)geth er,

that’s how it (Gm)al ways should (Gm7)be.

(Fm)One with (Fm)out the (Fm7)oth er don’t mean (Eb6)noth ing to me, (Bb)noth ing to me.

(Ab6)some times I get a lit tle (Abm6)blue

but I (C7)would n’t have (F9)noth ing if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have (Eb)you.

Yes, I would n’t be (Eb9)noth in’

if I did n’t have you.

I would n’t know where to (C7)go,

would n’t (F9)know

what to (Bb7sus)do.

I don’t have to (Eb9)say it.

both know it’s (Abm6)true.

I (C7)would n’t have (F9)noth in’ if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have,

I (C7)would n’t have (F9)noth in’ if I (Bb7sus)did n’t have (Eb6)you.

(Gb)Would n’t have (Db)noth in’ if I (Ab)did n’t have (Eb)you.

Don’t have to (E9)say it

’cause we both know it’s true.

I (C#7)would n’t have (F#7)noth in’ if I (B7sus)did n’t have,

I (C#7)would n’t have (F#7)noth in’ if I (B7sus)did n’t have

(E6)you.

(A13)You.

(A#dim)You.
