THREE KIDS NO HUSBAND

BRANDY CLARK

Brandy Clark uses a capo on the 3rd fret.

The other guy playing uses a capo

on the 1st fret. I have included versions

below of the guitar capoed at the 3rd fret

and also without a capo.

CAPO: 3rd FRET

INTRO:

VERSE:

She's got three kids, no husband

C G

And she's two weeks late on last months rent

She's waiting on the child support

And he keeps swearing that it's coming

C G

But if she knows him, she knows where it went

D C G

And that pile of bills ain't gonna pay themselves

VERSE:

It's been a forty hour week and it's only Tuesday

C G

And there's homework and dinner to make

Somebody wants a lullaby

Somebody wants a different channel

C G

Somebody's dealing with their first heartbreak

D C G

And the dishes in the sink ain't gonna wash themselves

BREAK:

C G

She lights a cigarette out on the balcony

Em C

When she gets a couple minutes to herself

C G

There's how you planned it out and how it turns out to be

Em C

And a broken home, it ain't no fairytale

VERSE:

She's got three kids, no husband

C G

And a hairnet job at a diner on Main

She knows damn well she don't make the best cup of coffee

C G

But she's quick with a smile and good with names

D C G

Those lunch tickets ain't gonna tip themselves

BREAK:

C G

She smokes a cigarette out by the loading dock

Em C

And tries not to pick the polish off her nails

C G

She thinks about a guy who's been coming in a lot

Em C

She starts to dream and then she stops herself

VERSE:

She's got three kids, no husband

So she's a mom and a dad and a taxi driver

When the baby's sick, she's an up all nighter

A hand and a shoulder and a referee

A real life hero if you ask me

D C G

Cause those kids ain't gonna raise themselves

==================== CAPO: NONE =======================
