Key: Eb major
Verse 1
your domestic spouse
for the incubate
Because I've got a hunch
that our romance
F
C
has an 18 carat gold plate chance of hitting
Am
C
In other words, gal,
we just ain't no match.
But if you think that I'm
gonna hang around
F
C
and take this business settin' down,
you're countin' your chickens
G
C
long before they're hatched.
Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched,
no, don't count your chickens
F
C
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,
F
C
then just keep swingin' here on your gate,
cause you're countin' your chickens
G
C
long before they hatch, that is.
When I get sore, you laugh at me
G
C
a monkey anyway.
But you're gonna get dizzy
spinnin' around,
F
Bb
lookin' for some darn
Ab
C
fool to come around,
and lend you a helping hand
G
C
Am
some of these days.
C
G
C
Don't count your chickens for their hat.
No, don't count your
chickens for their hat.
Abm
E
C
It's an old saying that's
Am
C
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,
G
C
about the planets way up in the blue.
Of atom bombs and navy guns
F
C
and how the world affairs are run,
F
C
Am
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
G
C
for their hats.
It's an old saying that's never wrong,
you will learn for very long,
G
C
not to count your chickens for their hats.
