First Year Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]One call it first yea[A]r blu[D]e
Now I've been married about six months
Only six months you [G]see
The [A]first three months was all okay
The last three is killin' [D]me

[Verse 2]
My [D]wife began to hissin',
she cut down on her kissin'
And then she failed to shine
my [G]shoes
[A]My shirts became wrinkled
My pants with dirt were sprinkled
and I took the first year blues
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well then she started naggin'
She left the sink a'saggin' with
dishes piled up [G]high
No [A]food upon the table,
she said, "If I get able
I cook something bye and [D]bye"

[Verse 4]
Then [D]I began to wonder,
if I had made a blunder
When I said, "I [G]do"
She [A]must have read my thinkin'
Her eyes began to blinkin'
and that gal broke in two
[D]

[Verse 5]
Well I heard the dishes crashin'
And I began to dashin',
gettin' out [G]of sight
For [A]right there was my honey
On who I'd spent my money,
turnin' into dynam[D]ite

[Verse 6]
Then [D]after she'd exploded,
her meanness all unloaded
And things began to simmer [G]down
I [A]found myself a'bleedin' and
very much a'needin'
Of stitches taken all around
[D]

[Verse 7]
Well then she started cryin'
I felt myself a'sighin' and
then I took her in my arm[G]s
I [A]was afraid to scold her,
so I just gently told her
She didn't do a bit of harm
[D]

[Verse 8]
Now the first six months is over
and I am much the older
And experienced with a [G]wife
If [A]I can take the next six,
my friends all say I'll be fixed
To take it the rest of my [D]life
