G			      D E
Trying to make herself a bride

So what becomes of you my love
A                                   B
When they have finally stripped you of

The handbags and the gladrags

Once I was a young man

'Cos you don't mean a single thing without

VERSE:

A
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
G			     D E
And take a bottle full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
G			      D E
And bake them all in a pie

They told me you missed school today

So what I suggest you just throw them all away
