Every Time I Itch, I Wind Up Scratching You
Glen Campbell

Intro  E  B  C#m  E  F#7  A


Verse 1

    E               B            D             A
You know my love my only wish is happiness for you
     E                 C#m                  F#          B
So I work real hard to strike it rich   but everytime I do
E                  B                D           A
  I blow it all on some ol` witch I hardly ever knew
E        G#m   C#m    F#     F#7     A            E   B
How come every time I itch I wind up   scratchin` you

Verse 2

E                      B             D             A
When ever things ain`t goin` right I hurry home to you
    E                    C#m           F#7          B
You kiss my lips and you comfort me as only you can do
        E              B                   D              A
But the eagle flies on Friday night and my senses fly off too
E              C#m           F#      A             E
How come every time I itch I wind up    scratchin` you


Chorus 1

  F#              F#7            B
I dream of comin` home to you  A knight in shinin` armour
          A                    E
`Cause it seems to me that you rate much more
       F#                    B      B7
Than a broken down    busted farmer.


Verse 3

E             B           D                A
  Everytime I get ahead I act like someone new
  E          G#m        C#m           F#7          F#    B
I waste the whole night talkin` big   and spendin` money too
       E            B          D            A
Then I sneak in bed beside you    broke and blue
E              C#m    B      F#      A             E   B
How come every time I itch I wind up    scratchin` you


D  A  E  C#m  A   B  E
