Tuning: Standard
Now EI've been married about six months,
Only six months you Asee,
The B7first three months, was all ok,
But the last three is killin' Eme,
My Ewife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin',
And then she failed to shine my Ashoes,
My B7shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled,
And then I took the first year Eblues.
Well Ethen she started naggin',
She left the sink a'saggin',
With dishes piled up Ahigh,
No B7food upon the table, she said if she was able,
She'd cook something bye and Ebye,
Then EI began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,
When I said I Ado, she B7must have read my thinkin',
Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke Einto.
Well EI heard the dishes crashin',
and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of Asight,
for B7right there was my honey,
On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynaEmite,
Then Eafter she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,
And things began to simmer Adown,
I B7found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin',
Of stitches taken all aEround.
Well Ethen she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin',
And then I took her in my Aarms,
I B7was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,
She didn't do a bit of Eharm,
Now Ethe first six months is over, and I am much the older,
And experienced with a Awife,
If I B7can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,
To take it the rest of my Elife.
