E5 
The day that we were married 
A5 
The people shook my hand 
     B5 
They said we two were now as one 
    A5          E5 
And me a lucky man 
  

     E5 
From that day on that's all I ever 
A5 
Wanted us to be 
B5 
Until the day you told me 
        E5 
We'd be three 
 

     E5  
Then we began the waiting 
    A5 
And made our little jokes 
B5 
You couldn't look at monkeys 
    A5            E5 
And I gave up my smokes 
 

E5    
You prophasized he'd be a boy 
A5     
And look a lot like me 
B5 
Lord but I was proud 
             E5 
That we'd be three 
 
 
    F5  
One night the endless days of waiting 
Bb5 
All came to an end 
    C5 
You woke me from my restless sleep 
    Bb5              F5 
And said we must go in 
 

    F5 
The sun won't rise on any day 
Bb5 
Again like that for me 
C5 
The day had come when 
                  F5 
Two would soon be three 
 

  F5 
I smoked an endless burning chain  
Bb5 
Of bitter cigarettes 
C5 
I must have walked a thousand miles 
     Bb5            F5 
With fear in every step  
 

F5 
Two long days and two long nights 
Bb5 
That I refused to sleep 
C5 
And they were losing hope 
             F5 
That we'd be three  
 

    F#5 
The preacher came, the doctor came 
B5   
And said I must be brave 
  C5 
I remember saying 
   B5                     F5 
It was more than I could take 
 

F#5 
Now what's the world to do with  
    B5 
Any crazy man like me 
  C5 
A lonely one who wanted 
      B5  C#5 F#5     
To be three
