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
