(intro 3x)  G5       C5

(verse 1)

G5       C5          G5    C5
What we need in the world today
      G5             Eb5      G5
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
D5               E5
Help him not to worry
   D5            E5
Assist him to relax
 D5                 C5
Help him slow his heart rate
     F#5            D5
And spare him cardiacs

(verse 2)
Such a guide would in many ways
Turn the tide for the married man
Enable husbands to fill their days
As only the married can
D5                E5
Every man would praise it
F5               D5
It's such a splendid plan
G5       C5            G5          C5
Someday soon we shall point with pride
         Eb5                   G5   C5  G5  C5
To the guide for the married man

(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?

(key change to B5 )

Each and every device we know

Must be tried for the married man
     B5       E5          B5         E5
But who can question the debt he'll owe
        B5            D#5     G#5
To the guide for the married man
F#5            G#5
List things universal
      F#5            F#5
From Pittsburgh to Japan
B5      E5          B5     E5
Every man can be satisfied

By the guide for the married man
