Verse 1
(D major) (E flatdim) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major)
We stood (G major) upon the pier today,
(B major) and (C major) said our last (G major) goodbye.
(A major) And as I (D major) held her (G major) hand in mine,
(A major) a tear stood in my eye (D major) .
She (G major) saw that tear and said,
(B major) hate to (C major) leave my darling (B major) boy.
(E major) I (A major) turned away.
She did not (D major) know those tears
(G major) were (A major) tears of (D major) joy.
I (B minor) sent (G major) my wife to the Thousand
Isles that day,
(D major) la -la, she's on her way.
(A major)
(D major) She's gonna spend a week
on every (G major) isle,
that's (A major) why I'm gay. (D major)
(C major) So (A minor) everybody (C major) come and (A major) giftly cheer,
she's (G major) gonna be away (D major) for (B minor) twenty years.
It's (D major) as though I sent my wife
to the Thousand Isles,
and (G major) they, hooray! (D major) (G major) (D major)
Just think, (G major) when I (D major) get home to (G major) night,
there'll (C major) be no wifey (G major) there.
(D major) And right across the table
I (E minor) (A major) will see a vacant air (D major) .
I (G major) love my wife, I love my wife, (B major)
(C major) I love her more each day. (B major)
(E major) I (A major) love my wife, I (D major) love my wife,
because she's (Fdim) (A major) far away.
(D major) I (G major) sent my wife to the Thousand
Isles at day.
(D major) She's on her way.
(A major) She's gonna (D major) spend a week on
every (G major) isle.
(A major) That's why I'm (G major) gay.
(A minor) At night I'm (F major) going home
(A major) at half past ten,
(G major) put on my clothes, go (D major) out again,
cause I sent my wife
to the Thousand Isles that day.
Hooray! (G major)
