My Wife And My Dead Wife – Robyn Hitchcock

       C majorC          G+G        C majorC
My wife lies down in a chair, And Peels a Pear, I know she’s there
      C majorC        G+G        D MajorD
I’m making coffee for two, just me and you
            C majorC         G+G        D MajorD
But I come back in with coffee for three, Coffee for three
       C majorC        G+G         C majorC
My dead wife sits in a chair, combing her hair, I know she’s there
C majorC              G+G         D MajorD
She wanders off to the bed, shaking her head, Robyn she said
           C majorC  D MajorD
You know I don’t take sugar
G+G       C majorC       A minorAm         G+G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?
G+G       C majorC         A minorAm         G+G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C majorC     Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
       C majorC            G+G            C majorC
My wife sits down on the stairs, and stares into air, there’s no one there
       A minorAm         G+G        D MajorD
I’m drilling holes in the wall, holes in the wall
          C majorC              G+G
I turn round and my dead wife’s upstairs, she’s still wearing flares
  Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC     G+G
She talks out loud, but no one hears
G+G       C majorC       A minorAm         G+G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her
G+G       C majorC         A minorAm         G+G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C majorC     Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
   C majorC          A minorAm       G+G  Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC  G+G
And I cannot decide, which one I love the most
  C majorC            A minorAm      D MajorD
The flesh and blood, or the pale, smiling ghost
       C majorC            G+G           C majorC
My wife lies down on the beach, she’s sucking a peach, she’s out of reach
    C majorC     A minorAm             G+G         D MajorD
Of the waves that crash on the sand, where my dead wife stands, holding my hand
              C majorC           G+G
Now my wife can’t swim but neither could she, and deep in the sea
   D MajorD           D MajorD
She’s waiting for me, She’s waiting for me
    C majorC      G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
Oh, I’m such a lucky guy, ‘cause I got you baby and I’ll never be lonely
G+G       C majorC     A minorAm           G+G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?
G+G       C majorC         A minorAm         G+G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C majorC     Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
C majorC     Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC
No, no no, no no no, no
