One And One Makes Two

Johnny Cash


Tom: D

             D                             G
    Oh, the number one is not my favorite number,
            A                                D
    'cause one means only me and there's no you,
                                      G
    but one plus one, you see, makes two, that's you and me,
                   A                         D
    and it's more fun when one and one make two.

         G                                   D
Oh yes, one and one make two, at least I'm pretty sure they do,
               A                     D
oh yes, it's true, one and one make two.
     D
Now, let me show you what I mean.

              D                           G
    Now, you say you want to play upon a seesaw,
            A                                   D
    you're all alone and you don't know what to do,
                                                G
    well, just go and find a friend and sit him on the other end,
                      A                        D
    you'll have more fun when one and one make two.

         G                                   D
Oh yes, one and one make two, at least I'm pretty sure they do,
               A                     D
oh yes, it's true, one and one make two.

              D                              G
    Now, you say you want to play a game of baseball,
              A                                 D
    and you look around and there's no one but you,
                                                  G
    well, just find someone you know and he will catch the ball you throw,
                 A                              D
    you'll have more fun when one and one make two.

         G                                   D
Oh yes, one and one make two, at least I'm pretty sure they do,
               A                     D
oh yes, it's true, one and one make two.

D
Now there's the best reason of all
that I like the number two right here.

          D                           G
    Now, everyone needs somebody to share with,
        A                                        D
    to love and help and care for through and through,
                                                 G
    and there's no one that I've known who can share or love alone,
               A                            D
    it's a lot nicer when one and one make two.

         G                                   D
Oh yes, one and one make two, at least I'm pretty sure they do,
               A                     D
oh yes, it's true, one and one make two.
             A                     D     A  D
I said it's true, one and one makes two. One one.
