Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1955 (#5)*


C    Am  E7     F7     G7     Cdim    G9
Love and mar - riage, love and mar - riage 

C     C7            F        Dm7   Dm7-5
Go together like a horse and car - riage;

C      Am          E7    F7       C         Am              D7    G7
This I tell you, broth - er, you can't have one without the oth - er.


C    Am  E7     F7     G7     Cdim    G9
Love and mar - riage, love and mar - riage -- 

C        C7            F          Dm7  Dm7-5
It's an institute you can't dis - par - age.

C        Am    E7    F7     Dm7       C        Am        G7     C
Ask the local gen - try and they will say it's el - e - men - t'ry



Bridge:

G#   C#   G#                     Bbm7  Gdim      G#
Try, try, try to separate them -- it's     an illusion; 

G#    C#  G#                         C/B Am7             G7
Try, try, try, and you will only come        to this conclusion.



C    Am  E7     F7     G7     Cdim    G9
Love and mar - riage, love and mar - riage

C     C7            F        Dm7   Dm7-5
Go together like a horse and car - riage;

C        Am      E7    F7
Dad was told by moth - er,

F              C        Dm7        Am
You can't have one, you can't have none,

    F    Bb9   C       Am      F    Dm7   C
You can't have one without the oth   -   er.
