that my mother would've liked a girl[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                 [ch]C[/ch]\r\nBut she was happy with what she'd got[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]\r\nMy mother sent my father for a big blue blanket[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe salesman said, \"'Fraid not\"[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd the next time I'm born, won't be on a Monday[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]                 [ch]F[/ch]\r\nWhen all the shops are shut[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nI asked my girl to love me[/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]C[/ch]\r\nDarling be my wife[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nLove me every morning, try real hard[/tab]\r\n[tab]                  [ch]C[/ch]\r\nStick with me for life[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut now I just can't blame her[/tab]\r\n[tab]                        [ch]C[/ch]\r\nShe tried and tried and tried[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut she knew that the grass was greener[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]                 [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOver on the other side[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nI want my mail delivering[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI

[ch]C[/ch]\r\nI learned a little bit about wine[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI know the secret in both those things[/tab]\r\n[tab]                             [ch]C[/ch]\r\nHas got something to do with time[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI never really got it with romance[/tab]\r\n[tab]                       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nI failed and failed in love[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut I never say a prayer when things go wrong[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]             [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOr speak to god above[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nI don't do much on Sunday[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]\r\nMondays pass me by[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nTuesday's karaoke[/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWednesday's goodbye[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]F[/ch]\r\nTo the girl I
