(Verse 1) 
C5               C5 A5 
I've no wish to hurry you luv 
    A5            C5 A5 
But have you seen the time 
C5               F5                         G5 
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there 
G5 
At nine 
F5                 G5 
I don't think the registrar 
F5            G5 
Will be very pleased 
F5                  G5 
When we show up an hour late 
C5               C5 A5   A5 
Like two frozen peas 
 
(Verse 2) 
C5               C5 A5 
Both now facing for the first time 
A5        C5 A5 
Presently and past 
F5             
Something that begins with m 
    C5 
And ends in alas 
F5 
More than not complete disaster 
G5             C5 
Even from the start 
F5                    G5 
What could it be... 
G5    C5           C5 A5   A5 
It's matrimony 
 
(Verse 3) 

I know how you've dreamt about 

Being walked down the aisle 

But think of the money we'll save 

And you'll see it's worthwhile 

It won't please our mums and dads 

But they don't even know, 

Besides if they did what's the betting 

They wouldn't even go 
 
(Verse 4) 

You and me are all that matters 

Disregard the rest 

Trust your soon to be old man 

He knows what is best 

Very shortly now there's going to be 

An answer from you 

Then one from me 

That's matrimony 
 
(Middle) 
          E5                       C5 
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life 
          F5          C5 
That have made me so glad 
            F5           C5 
Every other hour that i spend with you 
              F5 
Is not in the least bit sad 
G5                     F5 
Quite the opposite in fact 
                 A5 
And if you don't believe me 
E5 
Here's the proof 
E5         F5               G5      F5     C5 
Ask me if i and i'll say "aye, i do----oo" 
 
(Play 1st verse again without singing then...) 
 
(Verse 5) 
You and me are all that matters 
Disregard the rest 
Trust your soon to be old man 
He knows what is best 
Very shortly now there's going to be 
An answer from you 
Then one from me 
That's matrimony
