Verse 1
(G major) (E minor) (C sharpdim) (Cdim) (E major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) (Daug) I (D major) used to dream
that I would discover (G major) the (E major) perfect (D major) lover
Someday, (G major) I (D major) knew I'd recognize him,
if ever (C major) he (D major) came round (Cdim) my (B minor) way.
They al (F sharp major) ways used to fancy (B minor) then, (A minor)
(F sharp major) he'd be one of the godlike
kind of men,
(C sharpaug) With a (D major) joyin' (A major) brain and a (B minor) nobly head
Like (D major) the heroes (A major) bold in
(D major) the books (B flat major) I've (D major) read
But along (G major) came Bill,
who's (C major) not the (Cdim) type (D major) at all
You (B minor) meet him on the (F sharp major) street
and never (A minor) no tice (D major) him
His (E major) (D major) form and face, his manly (G major) grace,
are (E minor) not the kind (A major) that
you would (D major) find in a statue.
I can't (G major) explain,
(C major) it's surely (Cdim) not (D major) his brains
that (G major) make me thrill. (C major)
(A minor) I (A major) love him because (B minor) he's (G major) wonderful,
(E minor) because he's (A minor) just my (D major) (G major) beer.
He can't (D major) play golf, or tennis, or (B minor) polo,
(E major) or sing a solo, (D major) or (G major) row.
He is (D major) n't half as handsome
as (C major) dozens of men (D major) that I know. (B minor)
(F sharp major) He isn't tall or (B minor) straight or (A minor) slim. (A major)
(C sharpdim) And he (F sharp major) dresses far (C major) worse
(F sharp major) than Ted (B minor) or (D major) Jim.
(C sharpaug) Oh, I (D major) can't explain (A major) why (D major) he (E major) should be
Just the (D major) one, (A major) one man
in God's (D major) world (B flat major) for (Daug) me
He's just (G major) my bill, an (C major) or dinary (D major) man
He (B minor) hasn't (F sharp major) got a thing
that I (A major) can brag (D major) about
And yet to be up on his (G major) knees,
so comfy (E minor) and (A major) roomy,
(D major) seems natural to me.
I can (G major) 't explain,
(A minor) it's surely (D major) not his brain
that (G major) makes me (C major) thrill.
(A minor) I (A major) love him, because he's,
(G major) I don't know,
(E minor) because he's (A minor) just my (D major) (G major) beer.
