Hows Ernie

     C                             
Well I don't miss her anymore, the 
F               C
way that I used to.
      C                            
Was a time when my heart was broke,
     G
 but somehow I got through.
           C                    
Still, her father became my best 
         F                    C
friend, that's one thing for sure.
C                       G        
Funny how I miss him, a lot more 
     C
than her.

[Chorus]
       Am           F             
"How's Ernie?", hey that's what I 
      C
would say,
     C                       G
If I wrote her a letter or I called 
her up one day.

       Am                  F      
"How's Ernie?" You know it ended 
       C
up real bad.
    C                              
But I don't miss her anymore, 
    G                C
though I sure do miss her dad.

[Verse]
     C                             
He was kind of deaf in one ear, so 
   F                  C
I'd kind of have to shout.
      C                     G
We'd talk guns and horses 'til the 
lights went out.
       C                        
Why, we'd stay up 'til midnight, 
          F             C
drinking whisky and water,
C                                 
And he'd pretend not to know I was
  G                   C
 sleeping with his daughter.

[Chorus]
    Am                       F    
But I was young and foolish. How 
        C
was I to know
         C                         
Hey, the price I'd for my mistakes 
       G
was to up and watch her go?
    C                              
And I don't mind that she went and 
            F                C
done what I guess she had to do.
    C                              
No, I don't mind, but I wonder why 
    G               C
she had to take him too!

[Chorus]
    C                              
But I don't miss her anymore, 
    G                C
though I sure do miss her dad.
