  G                   D  
Sir I'm a bit nervous about being here today,  

 Em                    C  
Still not quite sure what I'm going to say.  

 G                         D                       Em    C  
So bare with me please if I take up too much of your time.  

 G                D  
See in this box is a ring for your oldest,  

 Em                 C  
She's my everything and all that I know is,  

 G                           D                        Em  
It would be such a relief if I knew we were on the same side.  

 C                           D  
'Cuz very soon I'm hoping that I,  

  
                  G  
Can marry your daughter,  

                  D  
And make her my wife.

She's been here every step since the day that we met.  

              Em                           C  
Scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left.  

 G                        D                 Em    C  
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad.  

        G                      D  
I've got most of the vows done so far.  

                 Em                 C  
So bring on the better or worst, and till death do us part  

          G  
There's no doubt in my mind  

D               Em  
It's time I'm ready to start.
