D                    G      D
Seven years with the wrong woman
                       A7
Is more than a man can stand
 
Seven years with the wrong woman
                         D
Will wreck most any good man
 
                     G     D
Seven years with the wrong woman
                     D7          G
It's the same in the mountain or dale
                                      D
She'll stay awake all night trying to start a fight
     A7                   D
Then have you thrown into jail
 
                     G     D
Seven years with the wrong woman
                      A7
Is punishment that is bad
                      
Seven years with the wrong woman
                        D
Will drive most any man mad
  
                        G     D
When you've married the wrong woman
                  D7            G
There is only one thing you can do
                        D
Dig youself a hole then crawl in that hole
     A7                   D
Then pull the ground over you


Instrumental (a full verse played)
 
                      G           D
Listen boys if you're thinking of marriage
                       A7
Take warning to what I tell
 
Don't you marry the wrong woman
                          D
It's worse than living in jail
 
                     G     D
Seven years with the wrong woman
                       D7        G
It'll age you and turn your hair gray
                           D
They say love is blind but search 'til you find
  A7                       D
A face you can stand every day
