[Intro 1]
[F][Ab][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Take good care of what you've got
My [C]father said to me
As he [G]puffed his pipe and Baby B
He [C]dandled on his knee
Don't fool with fools who'll [F]turn a[Ab]way
Keep [G]all good compa[C]ny
Ooh- [G]ooh, ooh- [C]ooh
Take care of those you [F]call your [Ab]own
And [G]keep good compa[C]ny

[Verse 2]
[G]Soon I grew and happy too
My [C]very good friends and me
We'd [G]play all day with Sally J
The [C]girl from number four
Very soon, I [F]begged her,
[Ab]won't you [G]keep me compa[C]ny
Ooh- [G]ooh, ooh- [C]ooh
Ooh- [G]ooh, ooh- [C]ooh
Come marry me, for[F]ever [Ab]more
we'll [G]be good compa[C]ny

[Interlude 1]
[F][Ab][G][C]

[Bridge 1]
Now [A]marriage is an institution, [Dm]sure
My [G]wife and I, our needs, and nothing [C]more
[A]All my fri[Dm]ends by a year
By and [Bb]by, disap[Dm]peared
But we're [Fm]safe enough
behind our [E]door

[Verse 3]
I [G]flourished in my humble trade
My [C]reputation grew
The [G]work devoured my waking hours
But [C]when my time was through
Reward of all my [F]efforts
[Ab]My own l[G]imited company[C]

[Interlude 2]
[G][G][C][C]
[G][G][C][C]
[Bb][F][Ab][G][C]
I hardly [Bb]noticed [F]Sally
[Ab]as we pa[G]rted company[Fm][Am]

[Bridge 2]
[Dm]All through the years,
in the [Bb]end, it ap[Dm]pears
There was [Fm]never really [C]anyone [Fm]but me[E]

[Verse 4]
[G]Now I'm old, I puff my pipe
But [C]no one's there to see
I [G]ponder on the lesson of my [C]life's insanity
Take care of those you [F]call your [Ab]own
And [G]keep good compa[C]ny
