The Drifting Housewife chords by The Drones
Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
F#
I was more worried about taxes
B
When my lovely red-eyed bride
F#
Became a hair-splitting believer
B
That I should be vilified
Bbm
She'd see the rudder fail me
B
Move to Egypt, or to Spain
C#
The hammer fell, my fate's altered
B
Like sparks thrown from a flame
E
You know the Law
B
Know the Law

F#
My hopes were razed like three day growth
B
Then raked by nervous ticks
F#
Was I the bullseye or the launchpad?
B
I could never find the switch
Bbm
Her eye received heaven from earth
B
Like an atoll petrified
C#
Except where Saturn's life-belt
B
Shields a half-life from your eyes
E
You know the Law
B
Know the Law
C#
So don't go getting married
B
You can only change her name
E
You know the Law
B
Know the Law
F#
I'm out here on lighthouse duty
B
Where the foghorns groan through space
F#
Echo into red ant country
B
Through the doldrums and the wastes
Bbm
I'd right the wrongs if I could
B
But some things can't be exchanged
C#
So don't go getting married
B
You can only change her name
C#
Don't go getting married
B
You can only change her name
E
You know the Law
B
Know the Law
