[Eb] [Bb] There's a fly in the window, a dog in the yard, [Cm] and the years since I sold you.
[Bb] There's a trunk in the corner, I keep all my [Cm] letters, my bills, and the man's my true too.
[Gm] But I can't help [Eb] thinking about the times
[D] you were a [Gm] wife of mine.
You [Bb] didn't please me, your [Eb] black eye pleased me, [F] maybe [Eb] I'm the [Bb] better one.
[F] Like all the times we had fun on [Eb] the ferry [Bb] ride.
[F]
So for the days we lay in [Eb] the haste of death [Bb] or present times,
[F] How can I ever get it together [Eb] without a wife [Bb] in line?
[F] To pick the clock and get there [Eb] on the ferry [Bb] ride.
Round the tree in the summer, a fire in the fall, [Cm] flat out when we couldn't stand.
[Bb] Your bottle went round like a woman down south, [Cm] passed on from hand to hand.
[Gm] But I can't help thinking [Eb] about the times [D] you were a wife [Gm] of [Bb] mine.
You didn't please me, [Eb] your black eye pleased me, [F] maybe [Eb] I'm the [Bb] better one.
Like
[F] all the times we had fun [Bb] on [Eb] the ferry [Bb] ride.
[F] So for the [Fm] days we lay [F] in the [Eb] haste of death or [Bb] present times,
