Intro: Bm Bm7/E E7 E7/13 E7 A G#7  F#7 E7 
 
A9          A       A7M        A7/13        A7M   D9  E7  
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum 
A9          A      A7M          A7/13        F#7 
You came along and everything's startin' to hum 
Bm            Bm7      Bm5-/7      E7              A 
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come 
C9       C     C7M           C7M/9           C     Am7  Cdim  G7 
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine? 
C9                C       C7M         C7M/9            A7   A7/13-  A7 
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine 
Dm7           G7        Dm7   G7  C             Dm7      Cdim 
Wait till the warm-up's underway, wait till our lips have met 
    Dm7           G7        Dm7     G7 
And wait till you see that sunshine day  
C                      Dm7     G7 
You ain't seen nothin' yet 
    A9       A     A7M            A7/13        F#7 
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine 
     D9            E7                         A     Bb7M  A7 
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine 
         A7M         F#7                         B7 
Come the day you're mine, I'm gonna teach you to fly. 
                       E7                                A 
We've only tasted the wine  we're gonna drain the cup dry 
C9              C         C7M           C7M/9         C    Am7  Cdim  G7 
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround 
C9                C       C7M               C7M/9            A7   A7/13-  A7 
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground 
Dm7               G7       Dm7   G7     C           Dm7     Cdim 
Wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near 
Dm7           G7        Dm7     G7       F7                    E7 
Wait till you see that sunshine place -- ain't nothin' like it here 
C9           C     C7M            C7M/9         A7  Bb7M  A7 
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine 
    Bm     Bm7/E    E7           E7/13  E7     A     G#7   F#7 
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine 
    Bm     Bm7/E    E7           E7/13  E7     A    D9   A 
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
