Take good care of what you've got

My father said to me
C#7
As he puffed his pipe and baby B
F#
He dandled on his knee
F# F#/E H/Eb D7
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
C#7 F# C# F#
Keep all good company oohoo oohoo
F# F#/E H/Eb D7 C#7 F#
Take care of those you call your own and keep good company
Soon I grew and happy too
My very good friends and me
We'd play all day with Sally J
The girl from number four
And very soon I begged her
Won't you keep me company?
Oohoo oohoo oohoo oohoo
Come marry me for evermore
We'll be good company
Gdim G#
Now marriage is an institution sure
C#7 F# Eb7
My wife and I our needs and nothing more
H/F# H/F H/E G#m
All my friends by a year by and by disappeared
Hm Hsus H/D Bb
But we're safe enough behind our door
I flourished in my humble trade my reputation grew
The work devoured my waking hours but when my time was through
Reward of all my efforts
My own Limited Company
F# F#/E H D7 C#7 D
I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company
F# F E Eb
All through the years in the end it appears
D F# H
There was never really anyone but me
Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no one's there to see
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
Take care of those you call your own
And keep good company
