Velvet, I can wish you, for the collar of your coat,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And fortune smiling all along your way.
ch]D[/ch] D3add4 [ch]D[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch

Your own true love this day.

ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Mansions, I can wish you, seven footmen all in red,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And calling cards upon a silver tray,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
But more I cannot wish ya, than to wish you find your love,

Your own true love, this day.

ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Standing there, gazing at you,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
Full of the bloom __of youth, standing there.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Gazing at you, with a sheepish eye,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And a look of the truth.
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] D3add4 [ch]A[/ch
Music, I can wish you, merry music while you're young,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And wisdom, when your hair has turned to gray.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] D3add4 [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But more I cannot wish you, than to wish you find your love,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Your own true love this day.

ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
With a sheepish eye, and a look of the truth,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the strong arms, to carry you __ away.

NOTES
1. A sensitive and distinctive cover based on the song from the 1950’s musical, ’Guys & Dolls’, with
music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. A favourite of Paul McCartney’s Dad and my father.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guys_and_Dolls
2. The chords are very lightly strummed on nylon strings and arpegiatted at the accented fills at the
’end of line’.
3. This version doesn’t pretend to map all of the intricacies and subtleties of the jazz-style
accompaniment, but gives my interpretation of the overall scheme of the song’s chords. :-R
