All I want is you If [D} I was a flower growing [G} wild and [D} free All I'd [D} want is you to be my [A7} sweet honey [D} bee. And if [D} I was a tree growing [G} tall and [D} green All I'd [D} want is you to shade me and [A7} be my [D} leaves All I want is you, will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you, will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea. If you were a river in the mountains tall, The rumble of your water would be my call. If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow. All I want is you, will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you, will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea. If you were a wink, I'd be a nod If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod. If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug All I want is you, will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you, will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea. If you were the wood, I'd be the fire. If you were the love, I'd be the desire. If you were a castle, I'd be your moat, And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float. All I want is you, will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you, will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

With My Little Ukelele In My Hand - George Formby Now [C] everybody's [G7] got a crazy notion of their [C] own Some [F] like to mix up [C] with a crowd, some [D7] like to be a[G7]lone It's [F] no one else's business as [C] far as I can see But [D7] every time that I go out the people stare at [G7] me With my [C] little ukulele in my hand, of [F] course the people do not under[C]stand Some [G7] say “Why don't you be a scout, why [C] don't you read a book?� But [D7] I get lots more pleasure when I'm playing with my [G7] uke. Of [C] course I take no [G7] notice you can [C] tell [C7] For [F] mother's sound advice will always [G7] stand. She said "My [C] boy do what I [E7] say and you'll [A7] never go [Dm] astray If you [C] keep your uku[G7]lele in your [C] hand, [E7] yes [A7] son [D7] Keep your uku[G7]lele in your [C] hand." While [C] walking down the [G7] prom last night as peaceful as can [C] be When [F] some young girl said [C] "what about a [D7] stroll down by the [G7]sea?" She [F] said her name was Jane and that she'd just [C] come for the day. She [D7] looked so young and harmless that I couldn't turn a[G7]wa So with my [C] little ukulele in my hand, I [F] took a stroll with Jane along the [C] sand. We [G7] walked along for miles without a [C] single care or frown But [D7] when we reached the sand hills she said "Come on let's sit [G7] down." I [C] felt so shy and [G7] bashful sitting [C] there, [C7] 'cause the [F] things she said I didn't under[G7]stand She said "Your [C] love just turns me [E7] dizzy, come a[A7]long big boy get [Dm] busy" But I [C] kept my uku[G7]lele in my [C] hand, [E7] yes [A7] sir, I [D7] kept my uku[G7]lele in my [C]hand. Made [C] up my mind that [G7] I'd get wed some eighteen months a[C]go. I [F] also bought a [C] book about the [D7] things you want to [G7]know. But [F] just about a week ago I [C] got a awful fright, I [D7] had to get dressed quickly in the middle of the [G7] night. And with my [C] little ukulele in my hand, I [F] ran along the road for Dr. [C] Brand It [F] didn't take him long to get his [C] little bag of tools. I [D7] held his hat and coat and let him have my book of [G7] rules. Out [C] of the bedroom [G7] door he looked and [C] smiled [C7] He said, [F] "Come inside and see your wife and [G7] child." My [C] heart it jumped with [E7] joy, I could [A7] see it was a [Dm] boy For he [C] had a uku[G7]lele in his [C] hand, [E7] oh [A7] baby He [D7] had a uku[G7]lele in his [C] hand.

A [C7] girl while bathing clung to me, my [F] wits had to use She [D7] cried, "I'm drowning, and to save me, [G7] you won't refuse" I [C] said, "Well if you're drowning then I [E7] don't want to [Am] lose My [D7] little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock." With my [C] little stick of Blackpool Rock, a[G7]long the promenade I stroll.

A [C7] fellow took my photograph it [F] cost one and three. I [D7] said when it was done, "Is that sup[G7]posed to be me?" "You've [C] properly mucked it up the only [E7] thing I can [Am] see Is my [D7] little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock."
