      Is a guide for the married man
            G5      C5           G5    C5
      Some simple thing that in every way
                G5            B5      E5
      Would provide for the harried man

      It's such a splendid plan
      G5       C5            G5          C5

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 1]:

      By the side of the married man
      'Tis the lady who shares his life
      You help the bride of the married man
      By removing the husband's strife
      Every wife who's truthful
      Who treasures married bliss
      Must keep her husband youthful
      What better way than this?
