E
Tom Tom lived for all he could give
A                            E 
And he stood by his father's side
E 
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
A                        E 
And he took her for his bride
A                        E 
And he took her for his bride

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down 
A                   E
Don't ever leave my life

Tom Tom turn around, don't ever let me down

Take me for your wife , please take me for your wife 
 
E
Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says "stay"
     A                   E
He's never had to leave before
 E 
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
A                   E 
That she may see no more
    A                 E 
And then he hears her call
