I wanna marry you    (video)

 

    D - G   - A - G - A

 

     D                                           G

1.      I see you walking, baby, down the street,

A                                              D

    pushing that baby carriage at your feet.

G                                        A

    I see that lonely ribbon in your hair,

                  A7                                         D

    tell me, am I the man for whom you put it there.

 

     D                                              G

2.       You never smile, girl, you never speak,

                     A                             D

    you just walk on by, darling, week after week.

                  G                                 A

    Raising two kids alone in this mixed up world,

                     A7                       D

    must be a lonely life for a working girl.

 

                                G                      A                                   D

Little girl, I wanna marry you, oh, yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you,

           - G                  A                   D 

yes, I          do, little girl, I wanna marry you !

 

     D                                               G

3.       Now, honey, I don’t wanna clip your wings,

              A                                                           D

    but a time comes when two people should think of these things,

G                                     A

    having a home and a family,

                A7                          D

    facing up to their responsibilities.

 

     D                                                 G

4.      They say that in the end true love prevails,

                      A                                     D

    but in the end true love can’t be no fairytale.

G                                        A

    To say I’ll make your dreams come true would be wrong,

             A7                                D

    but maybe, darling, I could help them along.

 

                                G                      A                                  D

Little girl, I wanna marry you, oh, yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you,

           - G                  A                   D 

yes, I          do, little girl, I wanna marry you !

 

            - G                                        A

+   Oh,       my daddy said, right before he died,

            F#m              Bm

    that true love was just a lie.

G                                          A

    He went to his grave a broken heart,

           G                     A

    an unfulfilled life makes a man hard.

 

      - - - - - - -    - D                                                              G

5. Oh, darling,        there’s something happy and there’s something sad,

A                                            D

    bout wanting somebody, oh, so bad.

G                                          A

    I wear my love, darling, without shame,

                  A7                         D

    I’d be proud if you would wear my ring.
