Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
Eb
F
I find the moment I
Gm
let a woman
Bb
F
she becomes jealous, exacting,
Gm
suspicious and a damn nuisance.
I find that the moment I let myself
become friends with a woman,
C
I become selfish and tyrannical.
Eb
Bb
F
So here am I, a confirmed old bachelor,
Bb
and likely to remain so.
Gm
After all, Pickering, I'm an ordinary man
Bb
F
who de sires nothing more than
Bb
just the ordinary chance
Eb
D
to live exactly as he likes
F
C
and do precisely what he wants.
Eb
An average man, am I,
Bb
of no eccentric whim,
C
Gm
who likes to live his life free of strife,
C
doing whatever he thinks
F
Bb
They're just an ordinary man.
Eb
But let a woman in your life,
F
and your serenity is through.
Bb
She'll re decorate your home
from the cellar to the dome,
Eb
then go on to the enthralling
F
fun
Eb
Oh, let a woman in your life,
F
and you're up against a wall.
Bb
Make a plan and you will find
she has something else in mind,
And so rather than do either,
you do something else
Eb
that neither likes at all.
F
Eb
F
Eb
You want to talk of Keats or Norton,
Absus4
but she only wants to talk of love.
F
You go to see a play or ballet
Bb
and spend it searching for her glove.
Oh!
Eb
Let a woman in your life
F
and invite eternal strife.
Eb
Bb
F
Let them buy their wed ding bands
Eb
Bb
for those anxious little hands.
Eb
I'd be equally as willing
for a dentist to be drilling
F
Than to ever let a woman in my life.
Gm
I'm a very gentle man,
Bb
F
even -tempered and good -natured,
Eb
Whom you'll never hear complain,
Who has the milk
of human kindness
Bb
by the quart in every vein.
C
Eb
A patient man am I,
Bb
down to my fingertips,
F
C
Gdim
The sort who never could, ever would,
C
Bb
Let an insulting remark escape his lips.
F
Bb
Just a very gentle man.
Eb
But let a woman in your life.
F
Her patience hasn't got a chance.
Bb
She will beg you for advice,
your reply will be concise,
and she'll listen very nicely,
then go out and do
Eb
precisely what she wants.
You were a man of grace and polish,
Absus4
who never spoke above a hush.
F
all at once, you're using language
Bb
that would make a sailor blush.
Eb
Oh, let a woman in your life,
F
and you're plunging in a knife.
Bb
Let the oth ers of my sex
Eb
F
tie the knot around their necks.
Bb
Eb
I'd prefer a new edition
of the Spanish Inquisition
F
Eb
F
than to ever let a woman in my life.
Gm
I'm a quiet living man
Bb
F
who prefers to spend the evenings
Eb
in the si lence of his room,
D
who likes an atmosphere as restful
Gm
Bb
as an undiscovered tomb,
C
Eb
a pensive man of mine,
C
F
Bb
of philosophic joys,
C
Gm
who likes to meditate, contemplate,
F
Bb
He's just a quiet living man.
Eb
But let a woman in your life,
F
and your sabbatical is through,
Bb
In a line that never ends
comes an army of her friends
Come to jabber and to chatter
and to tell her what the matter is
She'll have a booming,
boisterous family
F
who will descend on you en masse.
She'll have a large Wag
Eb
F
nerian mother,
with a voice that shatters glass!
Bb
Eb
Oh, let a woman in your life!
F
Let a wo man in your life!
G
C
F
Let a wo man in your life!
C
Am
C
F
I shall never let a woman in my life.
