Verse 1:

C                            Dm
One of these days I'm gonna do it right,
Fm                       C
Take her out to dine by candle light.
Am     Am/G#         Am/G    Am/F#
Rent a suit and give my shoes a shine,
    Dm    Am     Dm    D7     G
And talk about nothing, over a glass or two of expensive



Verse 2:

C                   Dm
One of these days I'll do it right,
Fm                       C
Get to her door and just say goodnight.
Am           Am/G#    Am/G     Am/F#
Even if she asks me    to come   in
    Dm       Am     Dm    D7      G
I'll make myself say no so I can call again.

Chorus:

    Am     E      Am      F  E  Am
Oh Babe, I really like you.
Am              E          Am      C7
There's nothing wrong with you - oh no
      Am          Am/G#         Am/G     Am/F#
Said Babe, there's nothing that is wrong with me.
  Dm   Am   Dm      D7     G
I just gotta have you for my Sweet Mystery.
C               Dm
Sweet Mystery, Sweet Mystery,
Fm                             C
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me.
         Am       Am/G#    Am/G      Am/F#
Don't you see how groovy
it could   be
   Dm    Am     Dm     D7        G
If you'd agree to be my Sweet old Mystery.


Verse 3:

 C                           Dm
One of these days I'm gonna do it right,
 Fm                           C
Send her flowers, and ask her out tomorrow tonight.
 Am            Am/G#           Am/G    Am/F#
Find a little place where maybe we could dance.
     Dm      Am    Dm   D7      G
And build it up   slow for the big romance.


Verse 4:

 C                          Dm
One of these days I'm gonna do it right,
Fm                           C
If I don't get stoned in the candle light.
Am         Am/G#           Am/G     Am/F#
Get to her door and scream "Now you let me in".
      Dm   Am   Dm         D7      G
Cos if she said yes, that'd be the same old thing.


Chorus:

    Am     E      Am      F  E  Am
Oh Babe, I really like you.
Am              E          Am      C7
There's nothing wrong with you - oh no
      Am          Am/G#         Am/G     Am/F#
Said Babe, there's nothing that is wrong with me.
  Dm   Am   Dm      D7     G
I just gotta have you for my Sweet Mystery.
C               Dm
Sweet Mystery, Sweet Mystery,
Fm                             C
Nothing wrong with you, nothing wrong with me.
         Am       Am/G#    Am/G      Am/F#
Don't you see how groovy
it could   be
   Dm    Am     Dm     D7        G
If you'd agree to be my Sweet old Mystery.
