E MajorE
Now I've been married about six months,
A augmentedA
Only six months you see,
B7B7
The first three months, was all ok,
E MajorE
But the last three is killin' me,
E MajorE
My wife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin',
A augmentedA
And then she failed to shine my shoes,
B7B7
My shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled,
E MajorE
And then I took the first year blues.
E MajorE
Well then she started naggin',
She left the sink a'saggin',
A augmentedA
With dishes piled up high,
B7B7
No food upon the table, she said if she was able,
E MajorE
She'd cook something bye and bye,
E MajorE
Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,
B7B7
When I said I do, she must have read my thinkin',
E MajorE
Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke into.
E MajorE
Well I heard the dishes crashin',
A augmentedA
and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of sight,
B7B7
for right there was my honey,
E MajorE
On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynamite,
E MajorE
Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,
A augmentedA
And things began to simmer down,
B7B7
I found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin',
E MajorE
Of stitches taken all around.
E MajorE
Well then she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin',
A augmentedA
And then I took her in my arms,
B7B7
I was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,
E MajorE
She didn't do a bit of harm,
E MajorE
Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older,
A augmentedA
And experienced with a wife,
B7B7
If I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,
E MajorE
