Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
C minorCm
Gold-diggin' is a fine tradition—
  G+G        C minorCm
The courtship of the purse.
C minorCm
But when you wed for greed, you find the vows still read
   FF       G+G
"For better or for worse."
       C minorCm
Y'know we've had our share of stresses;
      FF        C minorCm
Guess every marriage has its messes.
        FF        G+G
Right now, I'd greet them with elation;
      FF       G+G
Divorce is better than mutation...

Chorus:
     C minorCm
Y'know, I didn't do nothin' wrong,
      FF          C minorCm
But now I'm living in a country song.
    G+G                      C minorCm
I don't care who sings it, it was written by Stephen King.
      C minorCm
The stupid zombies killed the truck,
          FF             C minorCm
My husband ate the dog, and now it seems I'm stuck.
    G+G                     C minorCm
I just can't believe this started with a damn bee sting.


Verse 2:
    C minorCm
With no face he came from outer space—
  G+G      C minorCm
An interstellar flu.
  C minorCm
Now Brenda's fit to bust, what does this mean for us,
  FF            G+G
And what are we supposed to do?
       C minorCm
My husband's face is rearrangin;
        FF         C minorCm
That's not the only thing that's changin'.
       FF       G+G
What sort of fellow gets rejected,
   FF           G+G
Goes out and gets himself infected?

Chorus:
     C minorCm
Y'know, I didn't do nothin' wrong,
      FF          C minorCm
But now I'm living in a country song.


Bridge:
FF                C minorCm
This unexpected terror from the sky
       FF              C minorCm
Means it's survival of the fittest, do or die.
      FF              C minorCm
So if you'd contrive to stay alive, come on now, grab your gun.
    FF            G+G
Havin' marital fidelity doesn't mean that I won't run!
    FF                   C minorCm
You can say that I'm a cheatin' whore, that I haven't got a heart,
    FF                  G+G
But the vows I took on the holy book read "until death do us part"!
N.C.
"And baby...you're dead."


Verse 3:
    C minorCm
It may be it isn't right of me
  FF        C minorCm
To tell my husband "no."
   C minorCm
It's true the vows did say "love, honor, and obey,"
  FF             G+G
But now it's time to let that go,
      C minorCm
Because our nuptial equation
     FF       C minorCm
Was for a man, not an invasion.
     FF         G+G
I have to trust there was a reason,
       FF       G+G
This happened during hunting season...


Chorus:
     C minorCm
Y'know, I didn't do nothin' wrong,
      FF          C minorCm
But now I'm living in a country song.
    G+G                      C minorCm
I don't care who sings it, it was written by Stephen King.
      C minorCm
The stupid zombies killed the truck,
          FF             C minorCm
My husband ate the dog, and now it seems I'm stuck.
    G+G                     C minorCm
I just can't believe this started with a damn bee sting.
    G+G                     C minorCm
I just can't believe this started with a damn bee sting.
    G+G                     C minorCm
I just can't believe this started with a damn bee sting!
N.C.
"That is...awesome."
