Good company

	  		 
 
 
C#7 
Take good core of what you've got 
F# 
My father said to me 
As he puffed his pipe and Baby B. 
He dandled on his knee 
F#              F#7          B    D7 
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away 
C#7                F# 
Keep all Good Company 
 
Oo Hoo Oo Hoo 
Take care of those you call your own 
And keep Good Company 
 
Soon I grew and happy too 
My very good friends and me 
We'd play all day and Sally J. 
The girl from number four 
And very soon I begged her won't you 
Keep me Company 
 
 D#7                           G#m 
Now marriage is an insinuation sure 
C#                                  F#    D#7(VIII) 
My wife and I our needs and nothing more 
G#m 
All my friends by a year by and by disappear 
           Bm                     A# 
But we're safe enough behind our door. 
 
I flourished in my humble trade 
My reputation grew 
The work devoured my waking hours 
But when my time was through 
Reward of all my efforts my own 
Limited Company 
 
I hardly noticed Sall as we 
         Bm  C# 
Pated Company 
xx444x         xx344x        xx244x xx644x 
All through the years in the end it appears 
           Bm                     A# 
There was never really anyone but me 
 
Now I'm old I puff my pipe 
But no-one's there to see 
I ponder on the lesson of 
My life's insanity 
Take care of those you call your own 
And Keep Good Company
