Lyrics

| + + G#m C#m |

[Intro]
              | F#m - - - | - - G#m C#m | F#m - - - |
| - - G#m C#m | F#m - - - | - -

[Verse 1]
G#m      C#m    F#m   A               F#m
   Add a little sugar, honeysuckle And
G#m                          C#m
   a great big expression of happiness
                  A F#m
Boy, you couldn't miss 
G#m       C#m   F#m
   With a dozen roses

[Verse 2]
A          F#m
 Such will astound you
G#m                              C#m
   The joy of children laughing around you
              A
These are the makings of you
F#m         Bsus4 B7       G#m     C#m
It is true, the     makings   of you
F#m G#m              C#m    F#m
       The righteous way to go 

[Verse 3]
A                     F#m
 Little one would know
G#m                C#m
   Or believe if I told them so
                   A F#m
You're second to none  
G#m         C#m       F#m
   The love of all mankind
A                   F#m              G#m
 Should reflect some   sign of these words
              C#m
I've tried to recite
                        A F#m
They're close but not quite  
                     Bsus4
Almost impossible to do   
B7        G#m C#m F#m            A    Emaj9
  Reciting           the makings of you    

[Bridge]
G#m              C#m    F#m
   The righteous way to go 

[Verse 4]
A
 Little one would know
F#m G#m                       C#m
Or     believe if I told them so 
You're second to none
A   F#m G#m          C#m F#m
The love   of all mankind

[Verse 5]
A                    F#m G#m
 Should reflect some sign   of these words
C#m
I've tried to recite
                  A   F#m
They're close but not quite
                     Bsus4
Almost impossible to do   
B7        G#m C#m F#m            A    Emaj9
  Reciting           the makings of you
