The singing kettle chords by
Jerry Peal

N/A
Verse 1
D

Well, I guess it was back in 63 when eating

my cooking got the better of me, so I asked

this little girl I was going

with to be my wife.
G
D

Well, she said she would, so I said I'd do,

but I'd have said I wouldn't if I'd have just

knew how saying I'd do was gonna
G
D
G

screw up all of my life.
D

Well, the first few years weren't all that bad

I'll never forget the good times we had

Cause I'm reminded every month when
G

I send her the child support
D

Well, it wasn't too long

till the lust all died

And I'll admit I wasn't too surprised

The day I come home and found my

suitcase sittin' out on the porch
G
D

Well, I tried to get in,
G

she changed the lock

Then I found this note taped

on the mailbox

That said,
D

Goodbye
A
D
G

Turkey, my tourney will be in touch
D

So I decided right then and there,
G

I'm gonna do what's right, give her her fair share
D

But brother, I didn't know her share

was gonna be that much
G
D

She got the gold mine, I got the share
G

They split it right down the middle,
A

and then they give her the better half
G
D

Well it all sounds sort of funny,
G

but it hurts too much to laugh
D
A
D

She got the gold mine, I got the share

Now listen, you ain't heard nothin' yet

Why they give her the color television set

Then they give her the house,

the kids, and both of the cars
G

See?
D

Well then they start talkin' about child support,

alimony, and the cost of the court

It didn't take me long to figure out
A
D
G

how far in the toilet I was
D

I'm tellin' ya,

they have made a mistake
G

Cause it adds up to more

than this cowboy

makes
A

Besides,
D
A

everything I ever had worth takin'
D

they've already took
G
D
G

While she's livin' like a queen on alimony I'm workin' two shifts,

eatin' bologna
A

Askin' myself,
D

why didn't you just learn how to cook?
G

They give her the goldmine,

got the goldmine
D

They give me the shag, I got the shag
G

They said they're splittin'

it all down the middle
A

But she got the better half
D

Well, it all sounds mighty funny
G

But it hurts too much to laugh
D

She got the goldmine,
A
D
G
D
G

I got the shag
A
D
G

D
G
A
D

G
D

Well, she got to go mad, I got to be sad
G

They split it all down the middle
A

And didn't give her the better hand
D

Well, I guess it all sounds funny
G

But it hurts too much to laugh
D

She got the gold mine
A
D

I got the shag
A

Hey,

Kevin
D
A

I got the shag
D

But I don't have to worry about
G
A

tolling the bill anymore
D

I'll let my wife told ya
A

that I'm gonna be carrying food stamps

You get it,
D

Judge?
A

I'm gonna be...
D

That's not funny, huh?
A

Have some time to contempt the court.

What do you mean

I'm...
D

Listen,

Judge, I'm just kidding.
A

I mean, you can't get blood out of a...

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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

    Lynae T

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