Verse 1

[C] [A7]

My very good friend, the milkman says

[Dm] [G7]

That I've been losing too much sleep

[Dm] [A7]

He doesn't like the hours I keep

[Am7] [Dm] [D7] [G7] [C]

And he suggests that you should marry me.

Verse 2

[C] [A7]

My very good friend, the mail-man says

[Dm] [G7]

That it would make his burden less

[Dm] [A7]

If we both had the same address

[Am7] [Dm] [D7] [G7] [C]

And he suggests that you should marry me.

Chorus

[G#maj7] [Bb7]

Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints

[Fm] [C]

all the latest real estate news

[G#maj7] [Bb7]

And every day he sends me blueprints

[Fm] [G#] [G] [G7]

Of cottages with country views.

Verse 3

[C] [A7]

My very good friends, the neighbours say

[Dm] [G7]

They've been watching the things I do

[Dm] [A7]

And they believe that I love you

[Am7] [Dm] [D7] [G7] [C]

So I suggest that you should marry me.
