VERSE 1:
F#5
Look me over closely

Tell me what you see
    B5 (same string progression, moved up one string)
The lady likes to look her best

Before she pours the tea
    C#5 N.C.      B5 N.C.
You see a diamond-studded gown
     A5 N.C.           Ab5 N.C.
That makes the evening sun go down
    F#m
Oh, look me over closely

Tell me what you find     
    B5            A5
But don't be over-anxious
    C#5              F#5
I'm not the marryin' kind


BRIDGE: String-by-string strumming low to high
      B         F#
I'm a port in a storm
       C#                F#
You'll harbor where it's warm
      B             F#
In my arms you will hide
         C5 N.C.            C#
From the great big world outside


VERSE 3:
Oh, but when you come and see me
Don't try to change my ways
You'll have a part within my heart
And there you'll always stay
There's room for all
Love for all
But don't blame me
If you fall
So look me over closely
And then make up your mind
But darling, please remember this:
I'm holding you before we kiss
   F#5 (no progression)
So look me over closely
          C#5                 F#5
Because I may be the marryin' kind
            C#5                 F#5
Oh, well, I may be the marryin' kind
               C#5    C#5    C#5  C#5     F#5
Oh, well, I may    be the marryin'   kind
A5   Ab5  F#5
Oh - oh - oh
                          F#5  B.N.
