(G major) (D major) (B minor) (G major)
(A major) (E minor) (A minor) Nothing (G major) but sit (C major) an
d sit and (G major) eat and (A major) eat.
(G major) Padua affords this kindness,
(B minor) son (G major) Petruchio.
Padua affords nothing but what is kind.
(B minor) For both (G major) our sakes,
I would that word were true.
In faith, Hortensio feels the fear of his widow.
I am not afeard.
I mean, Hortensio is afeard of
you.
Your husband be (B minor) ing troubled
(G major) with a shrew
measures my husband's
trouble by his own.
And now you know my meaning.
(E minor) A (G major) very mean meaning.
Right. I mean (B minor) you.
To her, (G major) To her, widow.
A hundred crowns my Kate will lay her
flat.
That's my office.
By your leave, my lords,
the ladies would withdraw.
(C major) Bianca? (G major) (F major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (B minor) (E minor) (A minor) (G major) Marry Petruchio,
I be (C major) gin to wonder
if thou hast wed
the (G major) veryest shrew of all.
I say no. and therefore for assurance
lets each one send unto his wife
and he whose wife is most obedient to come the moment deeth send for her shall
(E flat major) win the wager which we will propose (G major) content what was the wager
(E flat major) 200 crown (G major) s
200 crowns
(E flat major) I'll venture so much (G major) on my hawk
and hound
but 20 times so much upon my wife
so be it 4 ,000 crowns.
Content? Content.
(E flat major) Who shall be (G major) gin?
That will I. Biondello.
(E flat major) Go, (G major) Biondello, bid your mistress come to me.
I will share half your stake,
Bianca comes.
I'll (E flat major) have no (G major) halves.
I'll bear it all myself.
Now, what news?
Sir, my mistress sends you
word
that she is busy, and she cannot come.
Oh, she is busy and she cannot come,
is that an answer?
Aye, and a kind one too.
Pray God, sir,
your wife (E flat major) send you (G major) not a worse.
I hope for better. (E flat major)
(G major) Sirrah, Sirrah, (E flat major) Biondel (G major) lo,
(E flat major) go and entreat my wife
to come (G major) to me forthwith.
Oh, entreat her?
Then she needs must come.
I'm afraid, sir, do what you can.
Yours will (E flat major) not be entreated.
Where is my wife?
She will not come.
She bids you come to her.
(G major) Worse and worse, she will not (E flat major) come,
O vile, intolerable,
not to be endured.
Grumio, go to thy mistress.
Say I command her to come to me.
I know her an (G major) swer.
What? (E flat major) She will not come.
(G major) (A flatdim)
(G major) (B minor) (G major)
(B minor) Nay, sister!
(G major) See where she comes!
Oh, (E flat major) come, come,
you're mocking me. nay, I will not!
Oh! Fie, fie!
Annet that threatening, unkind brow!
And dart not scornful glances
from those eyes
To wound thy lord,
thy king, thy governor!
It blots thy beauty,
as frost do bite the mead,
Thy husband is thy lord,
thy life, thy keeper,
thy head, thy sovereign,
one that cares for thee,
and for thy maintenance commits his body to painful labour,
both by sea and land,
to watch the night in storms,
the day in cold,
while thou liest warm at home,
secure and safe.
If he craves no other tribute
at (G major) thy hands but love,
Fair looks, an (E flat major) d true obedience,
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty (B flat major) the subject owes the (E flat major) prince,
(A flat major) Even such a woman
(D flat major) oweth to her husband. (B flat minor) (C major) (F minor)
(G major) And (E flat major) when she is froward, peevish,
sullen, sour,
and not obedient to his honest will,
what is she but a foul, contending rebel,
and graceless traitor to her loving lord?
I am ashamed that women
are so simple to offer war
when they should kneel for peace,
or seek for rule, supremacy,
and sway,
when they are bound to serve,
love, and obey.
Why (G major) are our (E flat major) bodies soft, and weak,
(G major) and smooth, unapt (E flat major) to toil and trouble in the world,
but that our soft conditions in our hearts
should well agree
with our external (G major) parts.
Come, (E flat major) brawl with unable worms.
Come. My mind hath been as
big as one of yours.
My heart is great,
my reason happy more
to bandy word for word
and frown for frown.
But now I see our lances are but straws.
Come, and place your (G major) hands
below (E flat major) your husband's foot,
in token of which duty, (F minor) if he please. (E flat major) (F minor)
(D flat major) My hand (B flat minor) is ready. (F minor)
May it do (C minor) him ease. (E flat major)
(D flat major) (Csus4) (C major) (F minor)
Why, there's a (C minor) wench. (E flat major) (D flat major) (C major) (F minor)
Come on and kiss me,
Kate. (A flat major) (D flat major) (E flat major) (A flat major) (E flat major)
(A flat major) (D flat major) (C major) (F minor)
I (C major) won the battle
you have yet to fight
and being a (E flat major) winner
(C major) God give you good night (E flat major) (F major) (E flat major)
You
