Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 (Lennon/McCartney)
 The White Album (1968) 
 
 
 
  
     
  This song is in Bb, but I recommend playing it with a capo on the 3rd 
 fret and play in G. If you do this, Bb=G F=D Eb=C  Cm=Bm  Gm=Em

 Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace,
                           Bb
 Molly is the singer in a band.
                              Eb
 Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face,
            Bb               F                Bb
 And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand:

 Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'

 Desmond takes a trolly to the jewler's store,
                             Bb
 Buys a twenty carat golden ring
                                Eb
 Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
            Bb              F             Bb
 And as he gives it to her she begins to sing:

 Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'

 Happy ever after in the marketplace,

 Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
             Bb                F                 Bb
 And in the evening she still sings it with the band.
