Well, I guess it [N] was back in 63 when eating my cooking got the better of me, so I asked
this little girl I was going with to [E] be my wife.
[A] Well, [E] she said she would, so I said I do, but I'd have said I wouldn't if I'd have
just knew how saying I do was gonna screw up all of my life.
[A] _ [Em] Well, the first few years weren't all that bad.
I'll never forget the good times we had, because I'm reminded every month when I send her the child support.
[A] _ [Bb] [Em] Well, it wasn't too long until the lust all died, and I'll admit I wasn't too surprised.
Well, one day I come home and found my suitcase sitting out on the poor.
[A] _ [Bb] [E] Well, I tried to get in, and she changed the [Gbm] lock.
[D] Then I found this note taped on the mailbox [B] that said, Goodbye, [Em] Turkey, my turn it will
be in touch.
_ _ [E]
So I decided right then and [D] there, I'm gonna do what's right, give her her fair share.
[B] But brother, I didn't know her share [Em] was gonna be that much.
_ [A] She got the gold mine, [E] I got the share.
_ [A] They split it right down the middle, [Gb] and then they give [D] her the better half.
[E]
Well, it all sounds sort of funny, [A] but it hurts too much to laugh.
[E] She got the [Bb] gold [B] mine, I got [E] the share. _ _ _
_ _ Now listen, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Why, they give her the color television set, then they give her the house, the kids, and
both of the cars.
[G] _ [A] [G] See?
Well, then they start talking about child support, alimony, and they call [Fm] for the court.
Didn't take me long to figure out [E] how far in the toilet I [G] was.
Now, [A] _ [E] I'm telling you, they have made a [A] mistake, cause [D] it adds up to more than this cowboy makes.
[B] Besides, everything I've ever had worth [E] taking, they've already took.
[A] _ [Bb] [Em] While she's living [A] like a queen on alimony, [D] I'm working two shifts, eating [B] bologna, asking
myself, why didn't [Em] you just learn how to [A] cook?
They [A] give her the gold mine, they [E] give me the share.
They [A] said they're splitting it all down the middle, [Gb]
but she got the better [E] half.
Well, it all sounds mighty funny, [A] but it hurts too much to laugh.
[E] She got the gold [B] mine, [E] I got the share.

_ [A] _ [B] _ They ain't kidding, [E] I got the share.
_ _ [B] _ _ Well, I [E] don't have to worry about towing the field [D] pole anymore.
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
I'll let my wife tow it, [B] I'm gonna be carrying food stamps, you get it, [E] judge?
I'm gonna be, [Bb] just, [B] ah, ah.
