Matrimony

I've (Bb)no wish to hurry you,

love, but have (Bbmaj7)you seen the time?

It's (Bb)quarter to ten and we'll we're supposed to (Cm7)be there at nine.

I don't think the registrar but will be very pleased

when we show up an hour what's late ting like (Bb)two n't frozen peas.

(Bb)Both now facing, for the first time,

(Bbmaj7)presently and past,

(Bb7)something that begins with "M" and (Eb)ends in "Alas";

(Ebm)More than not, complete disaster be an (Bb)even from the start,

then What could it be?

(F7)It's (Bb)matrimony.

(Bb6)I (Bb)know how you've dreamt ry about bein' have (Bbmaj7)walked down the aisle.

But (Bb)think of the money we'll save sup you'll to (Cm7)see it's worthwhile.

It won't please our mums and dads,

but they don't even know.

Besides, show if they did, what's the ting they (Bb)would n't even go.

(Bb)You and me are all that matters;

(Bbmaj7)disregard the rest.

(Bb7)Trust your "soontobe old man";

he (Eb)knows what is best.

(Ebm)Very shortly now there's gonna be an (Bb)anven swer from you,

then What could from be?

(F7)That's (Bb)matrimony.

(Bb6)I (Bb7)Oh, I'm truly (Eb)grateful for the little (Bb7)things in life that have (Eb)made me so (Bb7)glad.

Ev'ry other (Eb)hour that I (Bb7)spend with you is not in the (Eb)least bit (Bb7)sad;

(Gb)Quite the opposite, in (Db)fact.

And if you don't (Ebm)believe me,

here's the (Bb)proof:

Ask me if (Ebm)I, and I'll say (F)"Aye,"

I (Bb)do,

ooh.

(Bb)ny.
