Lyrics

You’ve been a (Esus)fool

(E)and (D)so have I,

But (A)come

and (E)be my (A)wife,

And let us (Esus)try

(E)be (D)fore we die

To (A)make

(B)some (E)sense of (B7)life.

We’re (C#m)nei

(G#m)ther pure nor (C#m)wise nor (G#m)good;

We’ll (F#)do the best we

(B)know;

We’ll build our (Esus)house,

(E)and chop our wood,

And (A)make our (D)gar

(A)den (C#m)grow,

And make our (B7)gar

den

(CN.C.)grow.

I thought the (Abmaj7)world

was (Ab9)sug ar cake,

For (Db)so

(Eb7)our (Ab)mas ter (Db)said;

But now I’ll (Abmaj7)teach

my (Ab9)hands to bake

Our (Db)loaf

of (Fm)dai ly (Ab)bread.

We’re (Fm)nei

(Eb)ther (Fm7)pure nor (Fm)wise nor good;

We’ll (Bb)do the best

we (Eb)know;

We’ll build our (Abmaj7)house,

and (Ab9)chop our wood,

And (Db)make our (Gb)gar

(Db)den (Fm)grow,

And make our (Eb7)gar den

(Absus)grow.

Let dream ers (Cmaj7)dream

what (C7)worlds they please;

Those (C)E

dens can’t be (C9)found.

The sweet est (Cmaj7)flow’rs,

the (C7)fair est trees

Are (C)grown

in sol id (G)ground.

We’re (Am)nei

ther pure nor wise nor (Em)good.

We’ll (D)do the best

we

(G)know.

We’ll build our (Csus)house,

And (Am)make our (Bb)gar
