And of course I wasn't asleep so I would _ nudge her.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] I _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] tell you, me and three [G] little brothers, she had her hand full. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, three years ago, just a couple of weeks ago, three years ago,
_ _ my _ _ brother called and said it's time to come. _ _ _
