Out of the tree of life, 
5  6     5   -5* 5 -5*4
I just picked me a plum
5    7   5  -6*  5
You came a-long and 
-6  5    6     6  -5*  5 -5*4
Ev-‘ry-thing start-ed to  hum
-3*   -5* -3* -5*  -3* -5*
Still it’s a real good bet, 
-3* -5* -3* -5* 5* 4 3*
the best is yet to come

6    -8   6 -7*  6  -7
The best is yet to come, 
6    7*     6   7  6  7 6
and babe, won’t it be fine
6    -8     6     -7*  6   -7
You think you’ve seen the sun, 
6    7*  6     7    6  7 6
but you ain’t seen it shine

-5    7    -5  7   -5    7  7   -5
Wait till the warm-up’s un-der-way
-7    8    -7  8    -7   8
Wait till our lips have met
-5    7   -5   7   -5   7    7    -5
Wait till you see that sun-shine day
-7   8     -7   8*  -7   8
You ain-t seen noth-in’ yet
5    7   5  -6* 5   -6
The best is yet to come, 
5    6      5  -5* 5   6 5
and babe, won’t it be fine
-6   8   -6 -8  -6  -7*
The best is yet to come, 
-8    7*  -8  -7*  7*   7*
come the day that your mine

Come the day that your mine
Im gonna teach you to fly
Weve only tasted the wine
Were gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till your charms are right, 
for the arms to surround
You think youve flown before, 
but you aint left the ground

Wait till youre locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There aint nothin like it here

The best is yet to come, 
and wont that be fine
The best is yet to come, 
come the day that your mine
