Verse 1:
Dm G7
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
C Am
right in the middle of the town
Dm G A
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below [A7]
Dm G
There would be one long staircase just going up and
C Am
one even longer coming down
(Slowing) And [Dm] one more leading [D#dim] nowhere just for [E7] show*
Verse 2:
Dm G7
I'd...fill...my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and
C Am
ducks for the town to see and hear
Dm G A
Squawking just as noisily as they can [A7]
Dm G
And each loud "cheep" and "squawk" and "honk" and "quack" would
C Am
land like a trumpet on the ear
(Slowing) As [Dm] if to say here [D#dim] lives a wealthy [E7] man*
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Dm G7
I'd..see..my wife, my Golda, looking like a rich man's
C Am
wife with a proper double chin
Dm G A
Sup-er-vi-sing meals to her heart's delight [A7]
Dm G
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock,
C Am
oh, what a happy mood she's in
(Slowing) [Dm] Screaming at the [D#dim] servants, day and [E7] night*
|Chorus:
|A
| If I were a rich man, ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum
|Dm Am E7 E7
| All day long I'd biddy biddy bum if I were a wealthy man*

Dm Am
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
Dm Am
You decreed I should be what I am
Dm Am
Would it spoil some VAST ETERNAL PLAN !
