Fm
Look me over closely
Tell me what you see
     A#m
The lady likes to look her best
Before she pours the tea
     C              A#
You see a diamond-studded gown
      G#                G
That makes the evening sun go down

     Fm
Oh, look me over closely
Tell me what you find
     A#m          Fm
But don't be over anxious
     C               Fm
I'm not the marrying kind

       A#         F
I'm a port in a storm
      C                 F
Your harbor where it's warm
      A#             F
In my arms you will hide
           G                 C
From the great big world outside

         Fm
Oh, but when you come and see me
Don't try to change my ways
        A#m
You'll have a part within my heart
And there you'll always stay
         C
There's room for all
A#
Not for all
G#
But don't blame me
G
If you fall

Fm
So look me over closely
    A#m
And then make up your mind
     Fm                A#
But darling, please remember this
C                  G#      G
I'm holding you before we kiss
    Fm
So look me over closely
           C                   Fm
Because I may be the marrying kind
            C                   Fm
Oh, well I may be the marrying kind
            C                   Fm    G# G Fm
Oh, well I may be the marrying kind, oh
