[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
The other [G]woman [D]fin[A]ds [G]time[Em]
To manicure her [Am]nails
The [D]other woman is perfect
Where her rival [Ebdim]fails[Em]
And she's never [C]seen with [D]pin
Curls in her hair
[C][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]The other wom[Em]an enchantes her
[D]Clothes with [Em]French
[C]perfume[Am]
[C]The other [Am]woman[D]
keeps fresh cut
Flowers in each [Ebdim]room[Em]
there are never toys
That's scattered every
[Bm]where
[D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[E]
And when [Am]her baby comes to c[C]all
He'll find her waiting like a [G]lonesome
[D]queen[Em][C][Em]
Cos when [C]she's [D]by
[Bm]his side[Em]
[G]It's such [C]a change [D]from old routine
[C][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]But [D]the[G] other wom[Em]an will always
Cry herself [C]to sleep[Am]
The other wo[A]man[Am]
[C]wil[D]l never have
His love [B]to keep
[Em]And as the years go by[C] the other woman[Am]
[C]Will spe[D]nd her life alone
