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


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


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

(Chorus)

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


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

Dm G A (A7)
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall

Dm G C A7
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men several hours every day
Dm B7(D#) E7
That would be the sweetest thing of all


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