E
now i’ve been married about six months ,
A
only six months you see ,
B7
the first three months , was all ok ,
E
but the last three is killin’ me ,
E
my wife began her hissin’ , cut down on her kissin’ ,
A
and then she failed to shine my shoes ,
B7
my shirts they came up wrinkled ,

my pants with dirt were sprinkled ,
E
and then i took the first year blues .

E
well then she started naggin’ ,

she left the sink a’saggin’ ,
A
with dishes piled up high ,
B7
no food upon the table , she said if she was able ,
E
she’d cook something bye and bye ,
E
then i began to wonder , if i had made a blunder ,
A B7
when i said i do , she must have read my thinkin’ ,
E
her eyes began to blinkin’ and that gal broke into .

E
well i heard the dishes crashin’ ,
A
and i began to dashin’ , gettin’ out of sight ,
B7
for right there was my honey ,
E
on who i’d spent my money , turnin’ into dynamite ,
E
then after she’d exploded , her meanness all unloaded ,
A
and things began to simmer down ,
B7
i found myself a’bleedin’ , and very much a’needin’ ,
E
of stitches taken all around .

E
well then she started cryin’ , i felt myself a’sighin’ ,
A
and then i took her in my arms ,
B7
i was afraid to scold her , so i just gently told her ,
E
she didn’t do a bit of harm ,
E
now the first six months is over , and i Am much the older ,
A
and experienced with a wife ,
B7
if i can stand the next six , my friends all say i’ll be fixed ,
E
to take it the rest of my life .
