The Best Man

Written by Roy Alfred and Fred Wise

	  		Intro: Verse 

   D         D9    Dsus   D        E        E7/9  E     E7 
I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks, 
       A        G/B    A7          D           Cdim     A7 
'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks. 
      F#7          Bm                        F#7                  Bm 
Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be, 
      E         Bm5-/7     Cdim      E        A         G/B      A7 
And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me. 
Melody Refrain 
    Edim   A7       D       F#m     G           Edim      D 
She said I was the best man     who ever knocked on her door; 
    Edim   A7      D           D7    G           Edim      D 
She said I was the best man,   the fella she'd waited for. 
     D7             G          Gm            D    Gdim   D

Cdim  E      Cdim       A       Bm5-/7    A      G/B   Cm5-/7 A7 
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy. 
    Edim     A7       D         F#m      G              Edim      D 
But then she met my best friend    and knocked him right off his pins, 
    Edim    A7      D        D7            G6       Cdim    G6 
But still I wasn't worrried,   'cause the best man always wins. 
    D7     G          G/F#      D6/9/F#     Em7       
The way it all turned out, there  was   no doubt 
            D      F#m     B7   
That I was best man in the end 
Cdim           E7/9             Edim     A7        D 
Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend

So don't you think you're best til you pass the test 
         D7         C#m5-/7   B7 
And you know all the ladies' tricks 
       E7/9       Bm5-/7       E7/9      Cdim 
'Cause you'll wind up as the best man  
          A        Edim        D 
While the other guy gets the chicks
