Verse 1
(G major) If (A flat major) you (A major) can't be careful,
try to be good
Well, we (D major) cared and we cared
as much as we could
We (G major) always agreed, me and (C major) my man
We said someday (F major) we'll try the family plan
The (B flat major) first thing we tried was nothing at all
Of course, (E flat major) amateur (C minor) writ (E flat major) ing,
(C minor) everything's (E flat major) here for
We (G major) charted my tides, (C minor) followed my moon
But then someday, (C major) it came a (F major) little too soon
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) month of (D major) blues
Too much to gain and (G major) too much to lose
But (C major) he was kinda happy
when he (D major) heard my news
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues (G major)
There was (A major) him and me
and the baby made three
But we (D major) made up our minds
to stay that way
With (G major) little bitty things made
of rubber and such
(C major) And cause we (F major) were friends
we decided to go Dutch
And when we (B flat major) said, I do,
it was a solemn oath
So we (E flat major) did (C minor) and we did
and it (E flat major) cleaves us both
We (G major) still can't figure out (C minor) what went wrong
But (C major) that's the first line
of the (F major) nine -month song
I got the (B flat major) nine (F major) -month (A major) blues (D major)
Too much to gain (G major) and too much to lose
I get out (C major) the dress and the (D major) sensible shoes
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues (G major)
I said, (A major) this time around
I'm gonna cast my stone
I'm (D major) gonna have a chance
to call my life my own
(A minor) But (D major) the (G major) S .P .C., the F .P .A.
(C major) They said, (F major) keep that child,
don't fling it away
The (B flat major) doctor said he had the right to refuse
The (E flat major) law (C minor) says if you want to (E flat major) beat the noose
You (G major) gotta be rich or (C minor) near to your grave
So away (C major) I went again
on my (F major) nine -month rave
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues
(D major) Too (B flat major) much to (D major) gain, (G major) too much to lose
And (C major) that time around, I (D major) got a McTwoos,
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (F major) (C minor) (F major) (B flat major)
(E flat major) (C minor) (E flat major) (G minor) (G major)
(C minor) (C major) (F major) (B flat major)
(A major) (D major) (E flat major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (D major)
(G major)
The (A major) next thing we tried
was the capital P,
and (D major) I -L -L is what that made me.
My (G major) head buzzed open and
I (C major) nearly went crazy,
and my (F major) mood started rising
every fourteen days.
It says I (B flat major) may be sick,
but I'm safe and free.
We (E flat major) started (C minor) making honey (E flat major)
like (C minor) a (E flat major) couple of bees.
(G major) But one late morning,
I must have (C minor) forgot
Dropped (C major) me right back
to the (F major) nine -month slot
I got the (B flat major) nine months (A major) of (D major) blues
Too much to gain and (G major) too much to lose
I want my (C major) old man to be happy
when he (D major) hears my news
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) months of (G major) blues
I got kids (A major) everywhere, two, three, four, five
I (D major) just can't swim without taking the dive
I (G major) went for advice, they said it to me
They (C major) said the (F major) next thing to try is the IUD
But the (B flat major) small print allows
that the loopity -loop
Has a (E flat major) margin (C minor) of error,
then you're (E flat major) in the soup
But (G major) your kid'll be normal,
so (C minor) don't you fret
Even (C major) though you leased it
for the (F major) nine -month let
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues (D major)
Too much to gain, (G major) too much to lose
I better get (C major) my old man
to discon (D major) nect his cues
I got the (B flat major) nine (A major) -month blues (G major) (D major)
(A major) I love my man, I love my kids,
but if I (D major) have any more,
I'm gonna blow my lid.
It's (G major) not just the 40 weeks on my mind, (C major)
it's (F major) also the washing hanging on my line.
It (B flat major) could be the worry on the old man's face,
or (E flat major) thinking (C minor) of the (E flat major) future
of (C minor) the (E flat major) female race.
It (G major) all began with a loving (C minor) and laughter,
then so (C major) much care.
For such a (F major) long time
after every (B flat major) nine (A major) months of (D major) blues.
Too much to (D major) gain, (G major) too much to lose,
now don't (C major) you think
we ought to have the (D major) right to choose to
sing the twenty year (A major) blues?
