         Is a guide for the married man
               G      C/G           G    C/G
         Some simple thing that in every way
                   G            B7      E
         Would provide for the harried man
         Dm               Em
         Help him not to worry
            Dm            Em

 Verse 2:

         Such a guide would in many ways
         Turn the tide for the married man
         Enable husbands to fill their days
         As only the married can
         Dm                Em
         Every man would praise it
               F               D7
         It's such a splendid plan
         G       C/G            G          C/G
         Someday soon we shall point with pride

         To the guide for the married man

 Verse 3 [chords as per verse 1]:

         By the side of the married man
         'Tis the lady who shares his life
         You help the bride of the married man
         By removing the husband's strife
         Every wife who's truthful
         Who treasures married bliss
         Must keep her husband youthful
         What better way than this?

         Must be tried for the married man
              B       E/B          B         E/B
         But who can question the debt he'll owe

         To the guide for the married man

         List things universal
