Terrible Hostess chords by Carolyn Mark

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

{Verse 1}

G                                 D
I celebrate solo a few nights off drinking

                   D7                   G
By rewarding myself with a smoke in the morning

          D                          C
Balancing health with the absence of wealth

         G        A          D            G
Steering clear of those that appear to be drowning

G                                   D
I’m a terrible hostess or so mother says

                     D7                   G
Cuz good manners fade when the guests overstay

                     D                        C
To the things on the shelf they just help themselves

          G      A             D        G    G7
Here it’s yours. Yours. Yours, mine and ours


{Chorus}

    C                        Cm       G
Now I like a party just like everyone else

      E                            A            D7
Let’s play hump the hostess. Let’s play get the guest

      G                 E
But I toast a tradition I, I confess

    A               D              D7           G
You leave when it’s light and I’ll clean up the mess


{Verse 2}

G                                        D
But for selfish pleasures I share my few treasures

                           D7                     G
Cuz it makes me feel famous when the phone is for me

                   D                        C
And tonight I will serve cocktails and hors d’oeuvres

        G     A          D          G       G7
Oh it’s funny how hard I work at my leisure


{Chorus}

    C                        Cm       G
Now I like a party just like everyone else

      E                            A            D7
Let’s play hump the hostess. Let’s play get the guest

      G                 E
But I toast a tradition I, I confess

    A.              D              D7           G
You leave when it’s light and I’ll clean up the mess



Thanks Miss Carolyn ;)
