If I were a rich man, Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm E baritone chordE E7 baritone chordE7
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum, if I were a wealthy man
A baritone chordA A7 baritone chordA7
I wouldn't have to work hard, Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm E baritone chordE E7 baritone chordE7 A baritone chordA
If I were a biddy biddy rich, idle-deedle-didle-didle man


Dm baritone chordDm G7 baritone chordG7 C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen, right in the middle of the town
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG A baritone chordA (A7 baritone chordA7)
A baritone chordA fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
There would be one long staircase just going up, and one even longer coming down,
Dm baritone chordDm B7 baritone chordB7(D# baritone chordD#) E7 baritone chordE7
and one more leading nowhere, just for show


D baritone chordD G7 baritone chordG7
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese
C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
and ducks for the town to see and hear
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG A baritone chordA (A7 baritone chordA7)
Squawking just as noisily as they can
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG
And each loud "cheep" and "squawk" and "honk" and "quack"
C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
Dm baritone chordDm B7 baritone chordB7(D# baritone chordD#) E7 baritone chordE7
As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man"

(Chorus)

Dm baritone chordDm G7 baritone chordG7 C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife with a proper double chin
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG A baritone chordA (A7 baritone chordA7)
Supervising meals to her heart's delight
Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock—Oh what a happy mood she's in
Dm baritone chordDm B7 baritone chordB7(D# baritone chordD#) E7 baritone chordE7
Screaming at the servants, day and night
E7 baritone chordE7 G baritone chordG F baritone chordF C baritone chordC Bb baritone chordBb A baritone chordA
The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
Dm baritone chordDm
They would ask me to advise them,
Bb baritone chordBb
Like a Solomon the Wise.
Gm baritone chordGm
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
Gm baritone chordGm
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
A7 baritone chordA7
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!


Dm baritone chordDm G7 baritone chordG7 C baritone chordC A7 baritone chordA7
And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
Dm baritone chordDm B7 baritone chordB7(D# baritone chordD#) E7 baritone chordE7
When you're rich, they think you really know!
D baritone chordD G7 baritone chordG7
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
C baritone chordC Am baritone chordAm
To sit in the synagogue and pray.

Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG A baritone chordA (A7 baritone chordA7)
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.

Dm baritone chordDm G baritone chordG C baritone chordC A7 baritone chordA7
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day.
Dm baritone chordDm B7 baritone chordB7(D# baritone chordD#) E7 baritone chordE7
That would be the sweetest thing of all.


A baritone chordA A7 baritone chordA7
If I were a rich man, Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm E baritone chordE E7 baritone chordE7
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum, if I were a wealthy man
A baritone chordA A7 baritone chordA7
I wouldn't have to work hard, Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm
Lord, who made the lion and the lamb
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm
You decreed I should be what I am
Dm baritone chordDm Am baritone chordAm
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
Dm baritone chordDm E7 baritone chordE7 A baritone chordA
If I were a wealthy man
