Marry Me

F              C                 
  Marry me, he said, through his 
Bb            C               F
rotten teeth, bad breath, and then
F           C            Bb     
Marry me instead of that 
         C             F
strapping young goatherd, but when
F            C           Bb     
I was in his bed, and my father 
    C
had sold me
  F                 C             
I knew I hadn't any choice, hushed
    Bb              C
 my voice, did what any girl would 
do and

[Prechorus 1]
Bb         C         Dm          
When I'm beheaded at least I was 
C
wedded
    Bb        C         Dm       
And when I am buried at least I 
   C
was married
     Bb        C           Dm    
I'll hide my behavior with wine 
     A
as my savior

[Chorus]
     Dm   C    F         C      
But, oh, what beautiful things 
     F
I'll wear
C    F         C           F
What beautiful dresses and hair
C   F        C         F
I'm lucky to share his bed
C F              C            F
Especially since I'll soon be dead

[Verse 2]
F            C               Bb 
Marry me, he said, god, he's 
       C          F
ugly, but fortune is ours
F              C          Bb    
Running in the gardens enjoying 
     C          F
men, women, and flowers
F              C           Bb   
Then I break a glass and I slit 
       C          F
my own innermost thigh
F                C             
So that I can pretend that I'm 
Bb              C
menstru...well, unavailable

[Prechorus 2]
   Bb         C              Dm  
My life is arranged but this 
        C
union's deranged
        Bb          C              
So I'll fuck who I choose for I've 
Dm          C
nothing to lose
         Bb          C            
And when master's displeased I'll 
   Dm         A
be down on my knees again

[Chorus]
Dm  C     F         C           F
Oh, what beautiful things I'll wear
C    F         C           F

C   F        C         F
I'm lucky to share his bed

[Bridge]
     Bb        C         Dm  
When dining on peacock I know I 
         C
won't swallow
        Bb                 C      
Through balls, births, and bridge 
        Dm             C
games I know what will follow
      Bb         C             Dm
We're coupled together through 
              C
hell, hurt, and hunger
   Bb         C           Dm 
Or at least until husband finds 
           C
someone younger
     Bb      C        Dm      
Yes, fertilization is part of my 
    C
station
  Bb          C         
I laugh as he drabs me in 
  Dm    C
anticipation
   Bb            C               
Of sons who will run things when 
Dm        C
I'm under covers
    Bb             C              
But whose children are they? Why, 
Dm          C
mine and my lover's!

[Chorus]
     F   C    F         C       
But, oh, what beautiful things 
    F
I'll wear
C    F         C           F
What beautiful dresses and hair
C   F        C         F
I'm lucky to share his bed
C F              C            F
Especially since I'll soon be dead

[Chorus]
C    F         C           F
What beautiful things I'll wear
C    F         C           F
What beautiful dresses and hair
C   F        C         F
I'm lucky to share his bed
C  F        C
So why do I wish I was...
