Cod Liver Oil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm a young married man
[Em]that is tire[Am]d in life.
Nine years I [Em]was wed to a [Am]sickly wife.
She did nothing all day
but sit home and [G]sigh,
wish[Am]ing to God that she might [E]die.[Am]
A friend of my [Em]own
come to [Am]see me one day
He said that my [Em]wife was fast [Am]fading away
He afterwards told me that
she would grow well
[G]If I bou[Am]ght her a bottle of cod[Em] liv [Am]er
I bought her a [Em]bottle, it was [Am]just for the try
The way that [Em]she drank it,
you'd [Am]swear she was dry
I bought her another, it [C]vanished the [Am]same
[G]Now[Am] she's got cod
liver oil on the brain
It's cod in the [Em]morning
[Am]and cod in the night
The house reeks of cod
[Em]and my wife [Am]is a fright
Though she's strong as an ox
it would make your heart melt
[G]She sme[Am]lls like a flounder
and [E]looks like a [Am]smelt
My house, it re[Em]sembles
a [Am]pharmacy shop
With bottles on [Em]bottles
and [Am]bottles on top
And sure in the morn
when the kittle [C]doth [Am]file
[G]I swe[Am]ar it be whistlin' cod liver aisle.
I'm a young married [Em]man
that is [Am]tired in life
Nine years I [Em]was wed to a [Am]sickly wife
I do nothing all day
but sit home and [G]sigh
Wish[Am]ing to God that [E]she
[Am]would [E]die[Am]
Thank you.
