Gene Watson – Three (Guitar)

     E               E7      A
The day that we were married, the people shook my hand

B7                                A             E
They said we two were now as one and me a lucky man

                         E7        A
From that day on, that's all I ever wanted us to be

B7                               E
Until the day you told me we'd be three

     E            E7     A
Then we began the waiting and made our little jokes

B7                               A            E
You couldn't look at monkeys and I gave up my smokes

                    E7      A
You prophesied he'd be a boy and look a lot like me

B7                                   E      C7
   Lord, but I was proud that we'd be three

   F                   F7             Bb
One night, the endless days of waiting all came to an end

C7                                    Bb               F
You woke me from my restless sleep and said we must go in

    F                        Bb
The sun won't rise on any day again like that for me

C7                                     F
The day had come when two would soon be three

F                   F7           Bb
I smoked an endless burning chain of bitter cigarettes

C7                                       Bb            F
I must have walked a thousand miles with fear in every step 

                  F7             Bb
Two long days and two long nights that I refused to sleep

C7                                   F      C#7
   They were losing hope that we'd be three

    F#                 F#7        B
The preacher came, the doctor came and said I must be brave

C#7                      B                 F#
I remember saying it was more than I could take

                         F#7        B
Now, what's the world to do with any crazy man like me?

C#7                          B      Bm
A lonely one who wanted to be three
