[Verse 1]
[C]Ask[Dm][Em][Dm][C][Dm][G]
[C]me [D]how [Am]do I feel,
[F]Now that we're cosy and [C]clinging,
[G][C]
Well sir, [Dbdim]all I can say is
If I [C]were a bell [Am]I'd be ring[D]ing![Dm]
[G]From the [C]moment we kissed goodnight,

[Verse 2]
[F]
[G]That's the [C]way I just gotta be[Am]have,
[F]And i[G]f I were[C] a lamp I'd [F]light,[Adim]
[Ebdim]Or if I w[E]ere a banner I'd wave!
[Em]Ask [Am]me

[Verse 3]
[A]how [D]do I feel,
Little me with my [G]quiet upbring[C]ing,
[G][C]
Well sir, [Dbdim]all I can[Edim] say is
If I [Dbdim]were a gate [A]I'd [D]be swinging![Dm][G]
And if I [C]were a [Bb]watch,

[Verse 4]
[A]I'd start pop[D]ping [F#dim]my spring[F],[C][Bb]
[Am]Oh, and if I[D] were a bell
I'd go "Ding [F]dong ding dong [C]ding!".[F#dim][F][F#dim]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Bb][Db][Ab][Ebdim][Gbdim][Bb][Bbm][Eb]
[Ab][Db][Fm][Db][Ab][Fm][Eb]
[Ab][C][F][Fm][Db][Ab][Eb][Ab]
[Gbdim][F][Bb][Eb][Ab][Db][Cm][Gbdim][F][Fm]
[Bb][Ab][Eb][Cm][Ab][Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Ebm]
[Ab]Ask me h[Db]ow d[Eb]o I feel
From this [Gb]chemistry lesson
I'm learn[Db]ing,[Bbm]
[Db]Well sir, all I can say is
If I [Db]were a bridge [Bb]I'd be bu[Eb]rning!
[Ebm]Well, [Ab]I[Absus4]

[Verse 6]
[Db]knew
my moral [Gb]would crack
[Db]From the wonderful way [Gb]you looked,
Boy, [Db]if I were a duck I'd quack[Gb],[Gbm]
[Gb]Or if [F]I were a goose I[C]'d be c[F]ooked!
Ask me [Db]how d[Eb]o I feel

[Verse 7]
[Gb]Now that we're fondly caress[Db]ing,
[Bbm][Db]
And if I were a salad,
[Db]I know [Bb]I'd be splashing
my [Eb]dressing![Ebdim]
[Ab]

[Verse 8]
Or [Db]if I were a season,
[Gb]I'd [Edim]surely be S[Fm]pring,
Yes, and if I were a [Cbdim]bell,
Say, if I were a [Bb]bell,
[Gb]If I were a bell
I'd go [Ab]"D ing do[Absus4]ng ding[Gb]
[Absus4]dong ding![Gb]".[Db][Gb][Db][Db]
