Chords

Quick note: theres a rare chord in this song as well as another that is played a seperate way for those notes you should play the chord written beneath them below this message. --------

Fadd9
A|0

E|1 C|0 G|0 (An F chord without the G string fretted, you still hit all four strings though.) --------

Fm
A|3

E|4 C|5 G|5 (Amanda plays this variant, it can be a bit difficult, I do it by pressing the A string with my index finger the E string with my middle finger, then placing my thumb onto the G and C string on the other side.) -------- Any chords written inside curly brackets (these: {} ) should have each chord down strummed once for every time it appears. At the last line of any verses with Fm's in them, you kinda stop the pattern and just strum back and forth a bit, I don't know how ot explain it, just listen to the song you can learn that from there.

Another bride

A lot of shoes

A lot of rice

             C                   Fadd9
The groom is nervous, he answers twice

            C                     G7
It's really killing, that he's so willing

        C
To make whoopie

{ Fadd9 Fadd9 Fadd9 G } N.C. Ugh

Fm                  C
   Picture a little love nest

   Down where the roses cling

Fm                         C
   Picture that same sweet love nest

Fadd9                   G7
   Think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby clothes

          C                Fadd9
He's so ambitious, he even sews

             C
But don't forget folks

That's what you get folks

           C
For making whoopie

{ FMadd9 FMadd9 FMadd9 G7 }

Another year, or maybe less

              C
What's this I hear

             Fadd9
Well can't you guess

             C
She feels neglected

            G7
And he's suspected

          C
Of making whoopie

{ Fadd9 Fadd9 Fadd9 G7 }

                C                G7
Oooh she sits alone, most every night

            C                 Fadd9
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write

             C
He says he's busy

              G7
And she says "Is he?"

            C
He's making whoopie

{ Fadd9 Fadd9 Fadd9 G } N.C. Ugh

Fm                      C
   He doesn't make much money

Fm                    C
   Only five thousand pounds

Fm                        C
   Some judge thinks he's funny

Fadd9                      G7
   Says he will give six to her

             C                G7
And he says "Judge, suppose I fail? "

                 C                    Fadd9
The judge says, "Budge, straight into jail

           C                       G7
You better keep her, I think it is cheaper

             C
Than making whoopie"
