Verse 1
Am
D
G
C
Am
Hey Mama,
I'm hittin' good
C
G
Like hell, you ain't been doin' so hot,
D
I heard about you
Am
Your thang been just as ragged
D
G
as a bowl of sauerkraut
And that new woman you
Am
got done lost her jaw
She on welfare,
D
G
you ain't hittin' your hustle no more
C
Why don't you be honest
Am
and tell me like it really is
But that's alright, I know anyhow
G
C
You left me for your new love
G
Am
D
Now, if she's been
Am
all you expected,
F
C
G
C
G
tell me why when I call you last night,
D
Am
I found your phone disconnected.
Em
F
G
C
Now, now, is she finding out
D
it all ain't peaches and cream?
C
D
I found out early in life,
you can move the man from his household,
But you won't remove the
E
memory of his wife
Em
G
C
You see the girl was in love with love
Am
F
Instead of being in love with you
G
It wasn't fair,
C
you should have told her
G
Am
About all the changes
you'd put her through
Em
Am
Now did you tell her about the London
and funky drawers?
E
Did you tell her that you're
Em
E
snowing your sleeve?
Am
Did you tell her how well
you like my cooking?
E
How many ridiculous foods
you refuse to eat
Am
I know you didn't tell her
about our letter -makin'
E
Or you'd have to tell her that
Em
she can't compete
Oh, she'd have to be
C
twice the woman I am
G
Am
F
And still the girl couldn't win
G
Cause I was a wife and a half
C
G
Am
An d that's three times any girlfriend
F
G
C
Is she finding out it all ain't
Am
C
D
peaches and cream?
C
She'll have to compete with me
Am
C
D
The rest of her life
Cause the job I did was a job well done
And she won't remove
E
the memory of this one
Am
Em
No! You can move the wife,
but the memory lingers on,
Am
Em
and you can't really win.
E
You can have him bodily,
Am
but unless you got his mind,
you haven't accomplished
too much anyway.
Em
The first reason I say you can't win
Am
is, suppose his wife is no good,
Em
I mean, really took the man
through a bunch of changes.
Am
Then he's gonna think you're
the same way
because he's adjusted to the idea
E
Em
and would like to think
Am
that all women are alike.
Em
Now if she was one of those terrific wives
Am
and he was the one responsible
then you got to deal with
a double problem.
Em
Am
The guilt feelings and the fact that he's
Em
going to compare your every move with hers.
Am
Em
Am
My wife didn't cook like that.
Em
And if you accidentally do some
of them good things she did,
Am
you're really in trouble.
Cause you see,
Em
he might call her name one night
Am
while y 'all making love.
Em
He's comparing whether he tells
Am
you about it or not.
Now, the second reason I say
Em
you can't win
is because of the wife herself.
Am
Em
Ain't no woman in her right mind gonna sit back and just let an other
Am
Em
woman come in and take her man if he's really worth having.
She might know something
Am
we don't.
And she will find out.
Em
That crap about the wife
is the last to know
Am
is a bunch of happy horse manure.
She's the first to find out
Em
Cuz you see when the stock
in her love market
Am
Drops from a six -day
week to a one -day
Em
Maybe she doesn't need Dow Jones
Mary Jones or any other Jones
Am
to tell her it's time to straighten it out
Em
So girls if you're gonna try do it, right?
C
And the job you do let it
Am
C
D
be well done
C
Am
D
When you put it on him
C
Am
C
D
Cause I found out early in life
C
That you can't remove the
Am
C
D
memory of the past
C
D
But keep on tryin', keep on doin'
C
Keep on tryin' girls
No, give up, oh
E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Outro 1
Yeah

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
