*from 'Mary Wells Sings My Guy' (1964)*
 
 
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
 
(Original Key: Bb)
 
 
[Intro]
 
G  Am  Bm
 
[Verse 1]
 
Gmaj7            G6       Gmaj7     G6       Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6
 Nothing you can say, can tear me a-way from my guy.
Gmaj7              G6           Gmaj7      G6       B     B7
 Nothing you could do, 'cos I'm stuck like glue, to my guy.
 
[Chorus 1]
 
    Am             D           Am         D
I'm sticking to my guy, like a stamp to a letter;
     Am       D            Am N.C.
Like birds of feather; we, stick together.
      G                 Gmaj7    Am7              D7        G      Am  D
I can tell you from the start; I can't be torn a-part from my guy.
 
[Verse 2]
 
Gmaj7              G6        Gmaj7         G6       Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6
 Nothing you could do, could make me be un-true, to my guy.
Gmaj7              G6         Gmaj7          G6      B     B7
 Nothing you could buy, could make me tell a lie, to my guy.
 
[Chorus 2]
 
  Am      D       Am      D
I gave my guy my, word of honour;
Am     D        Am N.C.
 To be faithful; and I'm gonna.
      G          Gmaj7      Am7          D7      G      Am  D
You'd best be be-lieving; I won't be de-ceiving my guy.
 
[Bridge 1]
 
     Am7         D         Am         D
As a matter of o-pinion; I think he's tops;
Am          D            G            Gmaj7
 My opinion is; he's the cream of the crop.
     Em        Bm        Em    Bm
As a matter of taste; to be ex-act;
A7                   D7
 He's my ideal, as a matter of fact.
 
[Verse 3]
 
   Gmaj7        G6         Gmaj7   G6         Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6
No muscle bound man, could take my hand, from my guy.
   Gmaj7    G6               Gmaj7    G6       B    B7
No handsome face, could ever take the place of my guy.
 
[Chorus 3]
 
   Am      D    Am    D
He may not be a movie star;
            Am             D      Am N.C.
But when it comes to being happy; we are.
              G      Gmaj7        Am7        D7       Gmaj7  G6, Am  D
There's not a man to-day, who can take me a-way from my guy.
 
[Interlude]
 
G  Am  Bm
 
[Verse 4]
 
   Gmaj7        G6         Gmaj7   G6         Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6
No muscle bound man, could take my hand, from my guy.
   Gmaj7    G6               Gmaj7    G6       B     B7
No handsome face, could ever take the place of my guy.
 
[Chorus 4]
 
   Am      D    Am    D
He may not be a movie star;
            Am             D      Am N.C.
But when it comes to being happy; we are.
 
Coda:
 
(Bass):
 
N.C.
 There's not a man today, who can take me away from my guy.
Am         Bm
 (What'cha say?)
N.C.
 There's not a man today, who can take me away from my guy.
Am       Bm
(Tell me more!)
N.C.                                                       Am  Bm
 There's not a man today, who can take me away from my guy.

For the verses my ear prefers: G G6 Gj7 G6 x3, Bm B7 [for guitar: G: 320003, G6: 3x2000 Gmajor7: 3x0002] And that Am-Bm Coda doesn't sound right. How 'bout: G Gj7 A7 D7 G G6 Am-Bm! repeat Intro: G... Am-Bm!; Verse 1: G G6 [302000] Gj7 G6 x3, Bm B7; Chorus: Am D x3, Am! (NC) G Gj7 A7 D7 G G6 Am-Bm!; Verse 2+Chorus; Bridge: Am7 D Am D, Am D G Gj7, Em Bm Em Bm A7...D7; Verse 3+Chorus; Interlude: G...Am-Bm! Verse 4+Chorus; Coda: G Gj7 A7 D7 G G6 Am-Bm!
