Verse 1
D 
And that's why, if I was a rebel
and she was the cause
Please listen to my story,
A 
D 
judge, it's sad but it is true
G 
D 
Divorce, it ain't a happy thing,
E 
A 
let me tell this tale to you
D 
This hearing can't compare
G 
Abdim 
to what a cheating heart can cost
G 
D 
G 
She took the cake, left me the crumbs
D

And that's why, if I was a rebel
A 
D 
and she was the cause
Why ain't they like they used to be,
A 
D 
the way they was back home
G 
D 
When a man was treated like a king,
E 
A 
his woman was his own
D 
But you give them the city living,
G 
Abdim 
they'll cheat and double -cross
D

and she was the cause
She took me for my money,
A 
D 
she took me for my love
G 
D 
She left me, stuck me with a  mortgage,
Em 
A 
then drove off my brand new Ford
D 
And then I put my foot down
G 
Abdim 
before it all was lost
G 
D 
G 
I found my temper when she lost her love
D 
And that's why, if I was a rebel
A 
D 
and she was the cause
I worked my fingers to the bone
A 
D 
I took a brand new job
G 
Gm 
D 
Scrimping, saving for that home
E 
A 
You know, a darn near star
D 
Things  were fine until that night
G 
Abdim 
I caught her with the balls
D 
G 
D 
G 
She took the horse, left me the hogs
D 
And that's why, if I was a rebel
A 
D 
and she was the cause
D 
And that's why, if I  was a rebel
A 
D 
and she was the cause
