Verse 1
(G minor) (D major) (G minor) If somebody
there (G major) chance to (G minor) be,
Who (C minor) loved me in a manner (G minor) true,
My (D major) heart would point him out to (G minor) me,
And (A major) I would point him out (D major) to you,
But hear and see of those who (B flat major) point,
Their (D major) manners must be out of joint.
You (G minor) may not point,
you must not point,
(A major) It's manners out of joint to point.
(D major) Ah!
Had I (G major) the love of such as he,
Some quiet spot he'd (D major) take me to,
Then he could whisper (G major) it to me,
And I (F sharp major) could whisper it (B minor) to you.
(D major) But (G major) whispering I've somewhere met
Is contrary to (D major) etiquette.
Where can it be? (G major)
(C minor) Now let (A major) me see. (E major) (D major)
(E major) Yes, (A major) yes, (D major) (C major) it's con
(D major) trary to etiquette. (G major) (D major) (G minor)
If any (C minor) well -bred (G major) youth I (G minor) knew,
Po (C minor) lite and gentle, neat and trim,
(G minor) Then I would (D major) hint as much to (G minor) you,
And (A major) you could hint as much to (D major) him,
But here (G minor) it says, (D major) in cleanest print,
(B flat major) It's (D major) personally denied to hint.
You (G minor) may not hint, you must not hint,
It (A major) says you mustn't hint in (D major) print.
Ah!
And (G major) if I loved him through and through,
True love and thought are
(D major) passing through,
Then I could speak of it to (G major) you,
And you (F sharp major) could speak of (B minor) it to him.
(D major) But (G major) here I find it doesn't do to
speak until (D major) you're spoken to.
Where can it (G major) be?
(B major) Now let me (D major) see.
Yes, yes, don't speak until
(D major) you're spoken to. (G major) (D major)
