Hank Williams - First year blues

Now ^EI've been married about six months, Only six months you ^Asee, The ^B7first three months, was all ok, But the last three is killin' ^Eme, My ^Ewife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin', And then she failed to shine my ^Ashoes, My ^B7shirts they came up wrinkled,

And then I took the first year ^Eblues.

Well ^Ethen she started naggin', She left the sink a'saggin', With dishes piled up ^Ahigh, No ^B7food upon the table, she said if she was able, She'd cook something bye and ^Ebye, Then ^EI began to wonder, if I had made a blunder, When I said I ^Ado, she ^B7must have read my thinkin', Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke ^Einto.

Well ^EI heard the dishes crashin', and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of ^Asight, for ^B7right there was my honey, On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dyna^Emite, Then ^Eafter she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded, And things began to simmer ^Adown, I ^B7found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin', Of stitches taken all a^Eround.

Well ^Ethen she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin', And then I took her in my ^Aarms, I ^B7was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her, She didn't do a bit of ^Eharm, Now ^Ethe first six months is over, and I am much the older, And experienced with a ^Awife, If I ^B7can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed, To take it the rest of my ^Elife.
