[Verse 1]
[A] Desmond has a barrow in the [E] market place

[A] Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I [D] like your face"
And Molly [A] says this as she [E] takes him by the [A] hand

[Chorus]
Ob-la- [A] di, ob-la-da, life goes [E] on, [F#m] brah!
[A] Lala how the [E] life goes [A] on

[A] Lala how the [E] life goes [A] on.

[Verse 2]
[A] Desmond takes a trolley to the [E] jeweller's store
[E7] Buys a twenty carat golden [A] ring
[A] Takes it back to Molly waiting [D] at the door
And as he [A] gives it to her [E] she begins to [A] sing

[Chorus]
Ob-la- [A] di, ob-la-da, life goes [E] on, [F#m] brah!
[A] Lala how the [E] life goes [A] on
Ob-la- [A] di, ob-la-da, life goes [E] on, [F#m] brah!
[A] Lala how the [E] life goes [A] on.

[Bridge]
[D]  In a couple of years,

[D]  With a couple of kids running in the yard,
[A/E] Of Desmond and Molly [E] Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

[Verse 3]
[A] Happy ever after in the [E] market place

[A] Molly stays at home and does her [D] pretty face
And in the [A] evening she's still [E] singing with the [A] band

[A] Lala how the [E] life goes [F#m] on.
And if you [F#m] want some fun,
Take [E] Ob-La-Di-Bla- [A] Da!
