Verse 1:
D MajorD       D3add4      D MajorD     D3add4
Velvet, I can wish you, for the collar of your coat,
G+G          A augmentedA   G+G    D MajorD  A augmentedA
And fortune smiling all along your way.
D MajorD         D3add4      D MajorD     F# minorF#m
But more I cannot wish you, than to wish you, find your love,
B minorBm    G+G  F# minorF#m    D MajorD  E minorEm A augmentedA G+G
Your own true love this day.


Verse 2:
A augmentedA        G+G  A augmentedA  G+G   A augmentedA    G+G   A augmentedA
Mansions, I can wish you, seven footmen all in red,
G+G                D MajorD
And calling cards upon a silver tray,
A augmentedA              D MajorD        F# minorF#m
But more I cannot wish ya, than to wish you find your love,
B minorBm    G+G  F# minorF#m      B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Your own true love, this day.

Verse 3:
C# minorC#m   E minorEm   A augmentedA
Standing there, gazing at you,
D MajorD      E minorEm     A augmentedA   E minorEm    A augmentedA   C# minorC#m
Full of the bloom __of youth, standing there.
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m E minorEm         A augmentedA
Gazing at you, with a sheepish eye,
E minorEm            A augmentedA
And a look of the truth.


Verse 4:
D MajorD      D3add4        A augmentedA
Music, I can wish you, merry music while you're young,
G+G           A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD   A augmentedA D MajorD
And wisdom, when your hair has turned to gray.
A augmentedA  D MajorD       D3add4         F# minorF#m   G+G     A augmentedA
But more I cannot wish you, than to wish you find your love,
D MajorD    F# minorF#m      B minorBm D MajorD
Your own true love this day.


Refrain:
E minorEm       A augmentedA  E minorEm           A augmentedA
With a sheepish eye, and a look of the truth,
D MajorD          F# minorF#m   D MajorD  E minorEm D MajorD
And the strong arms, to carry you __ away.

NOTES
1. A augmentedA sensitive and distinctive cover based on the song from the 1950’s musical, ’Guys & Dolls’, with
music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. A augmentedA favourite of Paul McCartney’s Dad and my father.

2. The chords are very lightly strummed on nylon strings and arpegiatted at the accented fills at the
’end of line’.
3. This version doesn’t pretend to map all of the intricacies and subtleties of the jazz-style
accompaniment, but gives my interpretation of the overall scheme of the song’s chords. :-R
