Chords with lyrics
A augmentedA fun and upbeat 3-chord folk song about a woman who's husband is a complete
disaster area.

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
When I was single I wore a plaid shawl,
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
But now that I?m married, I?ve nothing at all,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him,
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
I will go with him wherever he goes.

He came to a rally and whistled me out,
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
The tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him,
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
I will go with him wherever he goes.

He bought me a handkerchief, red white and blue,
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
But before I could wear it he tore it in two,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him,
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
I will go with him wherever he goes.

He borrowed some money to buy me a ring,
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
But he and the jeweller went off on a fling,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him,
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
I will go with him wherever he goes.
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
There?s bread in the oven and cheese on the shelf,
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
So if you want any more you can sing it yourself,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him,
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
I will go with him wherever he goes.
