F
How much do I owe you, said the husband to his wife,
    Bb                                               F
for standing beside me, through the hard years of my life,

shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you pearls,
Bb        C             Bb     C
sa-ay the word and it's yours


And his wife said,
  F
I won't take less than your love, sweet love
     Bb                        F
no I won't take less than your love,
                                             Dm
all the riches of the world, would never be enough,
      Bb         C              F      (chord change)  C
and I won't take less than your love.


C
How much do I owe you, to the mother said the son,
    F
for all that you have taught me,
                       C
in the days when I was young,

shall I bring you fancy blankets, to cast upon your bed,
      F             G               F    G
and a pillow for to rest your weary head,


And the mother said,
  C
I won't take less than your love, sweet love
     F                         C 
no I won't take less than your love,
                                               Am
all the comforts of the world, would never be enough,
      F          G              C
and I won't take less than your love.

Am      G       F

How much do I owe you, said the man to his Lord,
    Bb  (humming Bb)                                F
for giving me this day, and every day that's gone before,

shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice,
Bb               C              Bb   C
tell me Lord and I will pay the price.


And the Lord said,
  F
I won't take less than your love, sweet love
     Bb                        F
no I won't take less than your love,
                                                Dm
all the treasures of the world, could never be enough,
      Bb         C
and I won't take less than your.......

all the treasures of the world, could never be enough,
      Bb         C              F
and I won't take less than your love,
     Bb         C              F................
no I won't take less than your love
