E  
Now I've been marr__ied  
About six months 
                     A 
Only six months you_ see_ 
B 
The first three months 
Was all ok  
                            E 
The last three__s killin'__ me 
My wife began to hissin'  
She cut down on her kissin' 
                                  A 
And then she failed to shi_ne my shoes 
B 
My shirts they came up wrinkled 
My pants with dirt were sprinkled 
                             E 
And I too__k the first year blues 
Well then she started naggin' 
She left the sink a saggin' 
With dishes piled up high 
No food upon the table 
She said if I get able 
I'd cook something bye__ and bye__ 
Then I began to wonder 
If I had made a blunder 
When I__ said I_ do 
She must have read my thinkin' 
Her eyes began to blinkin'  
And that gal broke in two__ 
Well I heard the dishes crashin' 
And I began to dashin' 
Gettin' out of sight 
For right there was my honey 
On who I'd spent my money 
Turnin' in__ to dy__na_mi__te 
Then after she'd exploded 
Her meanness all unloaded 
And things began to simmer down 
I found myself a bleedin' 
And very much a needin' 
Of stitches taken a__ll around 
Well then she started cryin' 
I felt myself a sighin' 
And then I took her in my arms 
I was afraid to scold her 
So I just gently told her 
She didn't do___ a bi__t of ha__rm 
Now the first six months is over 
And I'm much the older 
And experienced with a__ wife 
If I can take the next six 
My friends all say I'll be fixed 
To take i__t the rest of my__ li__fe
