Cliff Richard - Bachelor Boy

The strumming pattern is that of a waltz (one down two up)

D                   G             A                        D
When I was young my father said, "Son, I have something to say!"
G                        A              D            A7
And what he told me I'll never forget until my dying day. He said..

D               G                  A                D
"Son, you are a bachelor boy, and that's the way to stay.
G                A            D         - C-D-C-
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day."

D                     G                   A                   D
When I was sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as can be.
G                        A           D            A7
But I remembered just in time, what daddy said to me. He said...

D               G                  A                D
"Son, you are a bachelor boy, and that's the way to stay.
G                A            D         - C-D-C-
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day."

D                  G             A               D
As time goes by I probably will meet a girl and fall in love.
G          A
Then I'll get married, have a wife and a child,

     D             A7      D
and they'll be my turtle doves. But until then
G           A            D
I'll be a bachelor boy, that' s the way I'll stay,

G               A            D             A7
