Verse 1
(G minor) (D major) (G minor) If somebody
there chanced to 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 here it says of those who point,
Their manners must be out of joint.
(G minor) You may not point,
(D major) you must (G minor) not point,
(D major) It's manners (A major) out of joint (D major) to point.
Ah!
Had (G major) I the love of such as he,
Some quiet (D major) spot he'd take me to,
Then he could whisper it to (G major) me,
and (F sharp major) I could whisper it to (B minor) you.
(D major) But (G major) whispering (D major) that (G major) song we met
is contrary to (D major) etiquette.
Where can it (G major) be?
(B major) Now let me (E major) see.
Yes, (A minor) yes, it's (D major) contrary to (G major) etiquette. (D major)
(G minor) If anywhere in youth I knew,
O (C minor) light and gentle, neat and (G minor) trim,
Then (D major) I would hint as much to (G minor) you,
And (A major) you could hint as much to (D major) him.
But here it says in plainest print,
It's most unladylike to hint.
You (G minor) may not (D major) hint, you (G minor) must not hint,
It (D major) says you mustn't (A major) hint in (D major) print.
(Ddim) Ah!
(D major) And (G major) if I loved him through and through,
To love and (D major) not opposing him,
Then I could speak of him to (G major) you,
And (F sharp major) you could speak of him to (B minor) him.
(D major) But (G major) here I find it doesn't do
To speak until you're (D major) spoken to
Where can it (G major) be?
(B major) Now let me (E major) see
Yes, (A minor) yes, don't (D major) speak until
you're spoken (G major) to (D major)
