Verse 1:

A minorAm
Would you trade me for all the pretty girls,
A minorAm
All the ones who came before?
A minorAm
Who left you broken hearted,
A minorAm
With your back up against the wall?
A minorAm
Would you cash in all your high times?
A minorAm    E7E7
For some lasting company,
   A minorAm    C majorC         D MajorD    FF
Or a warm soft breast for you to lay your head on,
  E7E7      A minorAm
For all of eternity?

Verse 2:

A minorAm
Would you travel right across the world,
A minorAm
To meet a woman that you didn't know?
A minorAm
If you thought that she might be the one,
A minorAm
To put your roots down with and grow?
A minorAm
Would you take her hand and walk with her,
      E7E7
Through the narrow gate of life?
  A minorAm     C majorC
Oh, Gather your load,
      D MajorD     FF
Prepare to travel the road,

That's going to lead you from trouble and strife.

Give me sweet... ah ah ah
