It's [G#] easy to [C#] see why, she's [G#] only six [C#] foot five,
[F#] I'm [F] only five [A#m] feet two.
[D#]
[G#] [G#m] Is [C#] there a tower [G#m] somewhere that [C#] might take me as [G#m] a spare?
Is [C#] there a bank [G#m] in town that [C#] might cash me as [G#m] a pound?

[E] [F#]
[B] remember [E] our [B] first [E] anniversary.
[B] It was one of those [E] occasions, [C#] well believe [F#] you me,
[C#] I would rather have [F#] been her ransom [C#] at the point of [F#] a gun
[B] than to suffer [D#m] indignation [G#m] for something I've [C#] done.
Oh, oh, oh, [F#]
no matter how I [A#m] try, [D#] [G#m] I just can't say [C#] goodbye.
