 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    F#dim
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
     C#            F#
Keep all good company
   C#7     F#
Oo Hoo Oo Hoo
  F#           F#7      B        F#dim
Take care of those you call your own
     C#            F#
And keep good company

C#7                            F#
Soon I grew and happy too, my very good friends and me
      C#7                            F#
We'd play all day and Sally J., the girl from number four
     F#   F#7    B        F#dim
And very soon I begged her won't you
 C#         F#
Keep me company
    C#7    F#
Oo Hoo Oo Hoo
    C#7    F#
Oo Hoo Oo Hoo
      F#   F#7   B    F#dim
Come marry me forever more
      C#           F#
We'll be good company

     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#m/F      G#m/E   G#m/D#
All my friends by a year by and by disappear
           Bm            Bm6      A#
But we're safe enough behind our door

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

I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company

All through the years in the end it appears
There was never really anyone but me
Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no-one's there to see
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
Take care of those you call your own
And keep good company
