1970: My Woman, My Woman, My Wife Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hands that are strong [Em]but wrinkled
Doing [F]work that never gets [G]done[C]
Hair, that's lost some [Em]of the beauty
[F]By too many hours in [G]the sun

[Verse 2]
[C]
Eyes, that show some dis[Em]appointment
And there's [F]been quite a lot [G]in her life
[C]She's the [E]foundation [F]I lean on
My [C]woman, my [G]woman, my [C]wife

[Verse 3]
[C]
Everyday has [Em]been uphill
Oh, [F]we climb but we can't reach the [G]top
[C]I'm weak and I'm easily [Em]discouraged
She [F]just smiles when I [G]want to stop

[Verse 4]
[C]Lips, that are weary [Em]but tender
With [F]love, that strengthens my [G]life
[C]A saint, [E]in a dress made [F]of gingham
[C]My woman, [G]my woman, my [C]wife

[Verse 5]
[F]
Two little babies were [Em]born in the spring
[Dm]But died when the [G]winter was n[C]ew[Em][Am]
I lost control of my [Em]mind and my soul
But [Am]my woman's faith
[D]carried us through
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
When she reaches that [Em]river[F]
Lord, you know what [G]she's [C]worth
Give her that mansion up [Em]yonder
'Cause [F]she's been through
hell here on [G]earth

[Verse 7]
[C]
Lord, give her my share [Em]of Heaven
If [F]I've earned any here in [G]this life
'Cause [C]God, I be[E]lieve she de[F]serves it
My [C]woman, my [G]woman, [E]my [Am]wife
[E][F][C]
