Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom
D                       G                     D 
  We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom
       A                    G
It was no infatuation but a gradual graduation
       D                    Gm
From a boy to a man, let me tell you while I can
    Bm            G
The soda pop came free

    D         G                       D
Hey Sis, one kiss, and I was heaven bound
D                                      G                       D
  Now who would have guessed Milton's "Paradise Lost" could be found
           A                     
But in the eyes of the Dean, his daughter
    G                        
Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta
      D                     Gm
But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
    Bm                 G
The consequence should be:
       D                        G                      D 
Church bells, three swells: the Dean, his daughter and me

They were dating in the park,
          Bm                         Em
They were smooching in the dark of a doorway for two
    Bm
She whispered "I love you..."
E                                     A
Ooh, you know I never felt this way before
E                                D
Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart
         Bm    A     G     Dm
Has gone awol, awol, awol, awol"
           F
And then I kissed her...
           G
And when I kissed her...
       D                           A
It's a wonderful world when you're rolling in kisses

Round and round and round and round and round and round
    A          A#            B

My ship came in with a cargo of dollars
   D                    G         
My name's lit up on the prow
