Key: Eb major
Verse 1
your domestic spouse
for the incubate
Because I've got a hunch
that our romance
Bb
F
has an 18 carat gold plate chance of hitting
Dm
F
In other words, gal,
we just ain't no match.
But if you think that I'm
gonna hang around
Bb
F
and take this business settin' down,
you're countin' your chickens
C
F
long before they're hatched.
Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched,
no, don't count your chickens
Bb
F
you will learn for very long
I bought you flowers and
I bought you booze,
but I balked when you wanted
doggone high for me now as it is.
So if you don't think that I'm
gonna sit and wait,
Bb
F
then just keep swingin' here on your gate,
cause you're countin' your chickens
C
F
long before they hatch, that is.
When I get sore, you laugh at me
C
F
a monkey anyway.
But you're gonna get dizzy
spinnin' around,
Bb
Eb
lookin' for some darn
Db
F
fool to come around,
and lend you a helping hand
C
F
Dm
some of these days.
F
C
F
Don't count your chickens for their hat.
No, don't count your
chickens for their hat.
Dbm
A
F
It's an old saying that's
Dm
F
not to count your chickens for their hat.
I've got a pile of books on my shelf,
and they tell me all about myself,
C
F
about the planets way up in the blue.
Of atom bombs and navy guns
Bb
F
and how the world affairs are run,
Bb
F
Dm
don't try to cover it with no pile of sin,
down in a berry patch.
I'll kick your eyes so full of dirt,
and quit counting your
chickens for their hat.
Don't count your chickens for their hats,
no, don't count your chickens
C
F
for their hats.
It's an old saying that's never wrong,
you will learn for very long,
C
F
not to count your chickens for their hats.
