 A#                                 F
Desmond has a barrow in the market place

Molly is the singer in a band
A#             A#7                     D#
Desmond says to Molly-girl I like your face
          A#               F                A#
And molly says this as she takes him by the hand.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
A#           F         A#

A#                      F G

Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers store
F7                          A#
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
A#               A#7                  D#
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
          A#               F            A#
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

refrain
D#                                               
In a couple of years they have built
             A#        A#7 (lead to D#)
A home sweet home
D#
With a couple of kids running in the yard
    A#                F
Of  Desmond and Molly Jones.

A#                      F
Happy ever after in the market place
F7                               A#
Desmond lets the children lend a hand


A#             A#7                      D#         
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
           A#              F               A#
And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

(refrain)
D#                            A#    F      A#
And if you want some fun-take ob-la-di-bla-da 

Note: I play the song with all barre chords and for the D# section (“in a couple years…”) only let the down strokes sound.

P.s. its also fun to play the running bass riff of

A#
