[Verse 1]
[D][Ebdim][D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D]
We stood [G]upon the pier today,
[B]and sai[C]d our last goo[G]dbye.
[A]And as I [D]held her [G]hand in mine,
[A]a tear stood in my eye[D].
She [G]saw that tear and said,
[B]hate to [C]leave my darling [B]boy.
[E]I t[A]urned away.
She did not [D]know those tears
[G]were [A]tears of [D]joy.
I [Bm]sent [G]my wife to the Thousand
Isles that day,
[D]la -la, she's on her way.
[A]
[D]She's gonna spend a week
on every [G]isle,
that's [A]why I'm gay.[D]
[C]So [Am]everybody [C]come and [A]giftly cheer,
she's [G]gonna be away [D]for [Bm]twenty years.
It's [D]as though I sent my wife
to the Thousand Isles,
and [G]they, [D]hooray![G][D]
Just think, [G]when I [D]get home to[G]night,
there'll [C]be no wifey [G]there.
[D]And right across the table
[Em]I wi[A]ll see a vacant air.[D]
I [G]love my wife, I love [B]my wife,
[C]I love her more e[B]ach day.
[E]I l[A]ove my wife, I l[D]ove my wife,
because [Fdim]she's fa[A]r away.
[D]I sen[G]t my wife to the Thousand
Isles at day.
[D]She's on her way.
[A]She's gonna [D]spend a week on
every [G]isle.
[A]That's why I'm [G]gay.
[Am]At night I'm [F]going home
[A]at half past ten,
[G]put on my clothes, go [D]out again,
cause I sent my wife
to the Thousand Isles that day.
[G]Hooray!
