Chords

[Intro] G D7 G [Verse 1]
G
Sad and alone in a mansion

   G                 D
No loving heart to caress

D
Sat a man sad and lonely

   D                    G
No loving wife's lips to kiss

    G
She married him for a position

   G           G7        C
No love in her heart had she

C                 G
Sad and alone, in his fine home

   D                         G
He looked all around him and said
[Chorus]
G
What is a home without a baby?

        G                      D
Just to love and to tease and adore?

    D
And what is home without a sweet wife?

   D                          G
To kiss you each night at the door?

    G
And what is a home without sunshine?

   G                 G7         C
To spread its bright rays from above?

C                       G
You may have wealth and its pleasures

    D                      G
But what is a home without love?
[Instrumental] G G D D G G G G7 C C G D G [Verse 2]
       G
He was walking down the streets one evening

      G                      D
As he passed by a cottage so neat

   D
He stopped and looked in a window

        D                      G
Then he saw there a picture so sweet

  G
A husband, a wife, and a baby

     G              G7   C
Just hugging and kissing too

C                              G
He stepped aside, his tears to hide

D                            G
And from his lips came these words
[Chorus]
G
What is a home without a baby?

        G                      D
Just to love and to tease and adore?

    D
And what is home without a sweet wife?

   D                          G
To kiss you each night at the door?

    G
And what is a home without sunshine?

   G                 G7         C
To spread its bright rays from above?

C                       G
You may have wealth and its pleasures

    D                      G
But what is a home without love?
