ENow (022100@1)I've been married about six months,
AOnly (x02220@1)six months you see,
B7The (x21202@1)first three months, was all ok,
EBut (022100@1)the last three is killin' me,
EMy (022100@1)wife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin',
AAnd (x02220@1)then she failed to shine my shoes,
B7My (x21202@1)shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled,
EAnd (022100@1)then I took the first year blues.
EWell (022100@1)then she started naggin',
She left the sink a'saggin',
AWith (x02220@1)dishes piled up high,
B7No (x21202@1)food upon the table, she said if she was able,
EShe'd (022100@1)cook something bye and bye,
EThen (022100@1)I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,
A (x02220@1) B7When (x21202@1)I said I do, she must have read my thinkin',
EHer (022100@1)eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke into.
EWell (022100@1)I heard the dishes crashin',
Aand (x02220@1)I began to dashin', Gettin' out of sight,
B7for (x21202@1)right there was my honey,
EOn (022100@1)who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynamite,
EThen (022100@1)after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,
AAnd (x02220@1)things began to simmer down,
B7I (x21202@1)found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin',
EOf (022100@1)stitches taken all around.
EWell (022100@1)then she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin',
AAnd (x02220@1)then I took her in my arms,
B7I (x21202@1)was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,
EShe (022100@1)didn't do a bit of harm,
ENow (022100@1)the first six months is over, and I am much the older,
AAnd (x02220@1)experienced with a wife,
B7If (x21202@1)I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,
ETo (022100@1)take it the rest of my life.
