[Verse 1]
  Am                 G
I found my love in a grocery shop,

        Am                         E
Selling pickles and egg-plants and bottles of pop;

    Am                    G
She asked me to try her asparagus tips,

      Am           E            Am
And I fell for the smile on her ruby red lips.
[Chorus]
C                 G
Green stamps were all she gave,

Am                E
Green stamps were all I took,

C                 G
Green stamps were all I saved,

     Am          E        Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.

      Am        E         Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
[Verse 2]
    Am                   G
I'd go every day just to gaze at her face,

       Am                   E
And in no time at all I had bought out the place.

     Am                         G
Tho' ne'er did I e'er taste her ruby red lips,

      Am            E         Am
I own four thousand cans of asparagus tips.
[Chorus]
C                 G
Green stamps were all she gave,

Am                E
Green stamps were all I took,

C                 G
Green stamps were all I saved,

     Am          E        Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.

      Am        E         Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
[Verse 3]
    Am                 G
Whenever I'm lonely or tired or blue,

  Am                     E
I go to my bookshelf and here's what I do:

  Am                           G
I reach for that book and then with loving care,

  Am          E                  Am
I count every green stamp that's pasted in there.
[Chorus]
C                 G
Green stamps were all she gave,

Am                E
Green stamps were all I took,

C                 G
Green stamps were all I saved,

     Am          E        Am
So I pasted them up in my green stamp book.

      Am        E         Am
Da da dum da da dum da da dum dum dum
