Intro:
Bi - Aº7 - C# - F#
[C#7] Take good care of what you've got,
My [F#/C#] father said to me
As he [C#7] puffed his pipe and Baby B.,
He [F#/C#] dandled on his knee
Don't [F#/C#] fool with [F#5/E] fools
Who'll [B/Eb] turn a - [D7] way
Keep [Bm/D] all good Compa - [F#/C#] ny
Oo [C#7] Hoo -
Oo [F#/C#] Hoo
Take [F#/C#] care of [F#5/E] those
You [B/Eb] call your [D7] own
Keep [Bm/D] all good compa - [F#/C#] ny
[C#7] Soon I grew and happy too,
My [F#/C#] very good friends and me
We'd [C#7] play all day with Sally J.,
The [F#/C#] girl from number four
[F#/C#] Very [F#5/E] soon
I [B/Eb] begged her [D7] won't you
[Bm/D] Keep me compa - [F#/C#] ny
Oo [C#7] Hoo -
Oo [F#/C#] Hoo
Oo [C#7] Hoo -

Come [F#/C#] marry [F#5/E] me
For [B/Eb] ever [D7] more we'll
[Bm/D] Be good compa - [F#/C#] ny

Break:
Now [Eb7] marriage is an insinuation [G#m] sure
My [C#] wife and I our needs and nothing [F#] more [Eb7]
All my [G#m] friends -
By a [G#m/F] year -
By and [G#m/E] by
Disap - [G#m/Eb] peared
But we're [Bm] safe enough -
Be - [F#] hind [Bm] our [Bb] door/
I [C#7] flourished in my humble trade,
My [F#/C#] reputation grew
The [C#7] work devoured my waking hours,
But [F#/C#] when my time was through
Re - [F#/C#] ward of [F#5/E] all my [B/Eb] efforts
[D7] My own [Bm/D] limited compa - [F#/C#] ny
Break:
C#7 - F#/C# - C#7 - F#/C# - F#5/E - B/Eb - D7 - Bm/D - F#/C#

[Bm/D] Pated Compa - [Bm] [/] ny

Break:
[G#m] All
Through the [G#m/F] years
In the [G#m/E] end
It ap - [G#m/Eb] pears
There was [Bm] never really
[F#] Any - [Bm] one
But [Bb] me
[C#7] Now I'm old I puff my pipe
But [F#/C#] no-one's there to see
I [C#7] ponder on the lesson of
My [F#/C#] life's insanity
Take [F#/C#] care of [F#5/E] those
You [B/Eb] call your [D7] own
And [Bm/D] Keep Good Compa - [F#/C#] ny
