D                   G             A                  
When I was young my father said, 'Son, I have something to 
D
say.'
                         G            A              D
And what he told me I'll never forget until my dying day.
   A7
he said...
 D              G                 A                 D
'Son, you are a bachelor boy, and that's the way to stay.
                 G            A                D
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day.'

D                    G                   A             
When I was sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as
D
can be.
                 G                  A             D
But I remembered just in time, what daddy said to me. He said...

D                 G                    A               
As time goes by I probably will meet a girl and fall in 
D
love.
                              G
Then I'll get married, have a wife and a child,
    A                    D      A7        D
and they'll be my turtle doves. But until then...
          G             A                   D        
I'll be a bachelor boy, that's the way I'll stay,
              G             A              D
happy to be a bachelor boy, until my dying day, Yeah...
D         G             A                   D
I'll be a bachelor boy, that's the way I'll stay.
              G             A              D      D G D G D C D
Happy to be a bachelor boy, until my dying da...y.
