E
Well, I guess it was back in '63

When eatin' my cookin' got the 
better of me                 lead 
guitar
So I asked this little girl I was 
                     E  {E G A B 
goin' with to be my wife
A G E}



E
Well, she said she would...So I 
said,'I do'

But I'da said, 'I wouldn't'.If I'da 
just knew how sayin' 'I do'
                          E   {E G
Was gonna screw up all o' my life
 A B A G E }



E
Well, the first few years weren't 
all that bad

I'll never forget the good times we 
had
Cause I'm reminded every month when 
                         E  {E G 
I send her the child sup-port
A B A G E}



E
Well, it wasn't too long til the 
lust all died

And I'll admit I wasn't too 
surprised
The day I came home and found my 
                     E    {E G A 
suitcase sittin'out on the porch
B A G E}



CHORDED VERSES

E
Well, I tried to get in, she changed
 the lock
A
....Then I found this note taped on 
the mailbox that said
B                                 
....'Goodbye, turkey...My attorney
            E  {E G A B A G E}
 will be in touch'


E
So I decided right then and there
A
...I was gonna do what's 
right...Give 'er her fair share
B                                 
...But, brother, I didn't know her
                     E   {E G A 
 share was gonna be that much
B A G E }
