[Verse]

C#7                                   F#
Take good care of what you've got, my father said to me
      C#7                            F#
As he puffed his pipe and Baby B. he dandled on his knee
F#              F#7          B     D7
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
     C#7           F#
Keep all good company


[Chorus]

   C#7     F#
Oo hoo, Oo hoo
     F#      F#7       B         D7
Take care of those you call your own
    C#7            F#
And keep good company


[Verse]

C#7                           F#
Soon I grew and happy too, my very good friends and me
     C#7                             F#
We'd play all day with Sally Jane, a girl from number four
    F#   F#7    B          D7
And very soon I begged her won't you
C#7          F#
Keep me company

[Chorus]

   C#7     F#      C#      F#
Oo hoo, Oo hoo, Oo hoo, Oo hoo
     F#    F#7   B    D7
Come marry me forever more
      C#7          F#
We'll be good company


[Interlude]

[Bridge]

    D#7                         G#m
Now marriage is an institution, sure
   C#                                F#    D#7
My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
       G#m                      G#m7
All my friends by a year by and by disappeared
          Bm          F#     Bm  A#
But we're safe enough behind our door.


[Verse]

  C#7                               F#
I flourished in my humble trade, my reputation grew
    C#7                               F#
The work devoured my waking hours but when my time was through
  F#      F#7    B       D7
Reward of all my efforts my own
C#7          F#
Limited company


[Instrumental]

F#     B  D#7  C#7   F#

  F#     F#7     B     D7
I hardly noticed Sally as we
C#7         Bm       D#m
Parted company


[Bridge]

G#m                          G#m7
All through the years in the end it appears
          Bm           F# Bm      A#
There was never really anyone but me


[Verse]

C#7                            F#
Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no-one's there to see
  C#7                        F#
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
     F#      F#7       B         D7
Take care of those you call your own (own, own)
    C#7            F#
And keep good company
