Glen Cambell Words and Music by Chris Gantry (no intro) Verse 1
    Gmaj7                                                  C
She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday

Cmaj7                            G          Em
And thinks of the young man that she almost married

C              B7         C            B
What would he think if he saw her this way?

    Gmaj7                                         C
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion as something comes into her mind

                         G             
Slowly starts dancing rememb'ring her girlhood

    C          B7           C           D
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Chorus 1
D7   G            Am7           G        Am7
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

     G        Am7       G          D
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day

                          C                         G    C   G  C
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Verse 2
     Amaj7                                          D
The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page

Dmaj7                       C#m         C#m7
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower

     D            C#           Bm            C#
The first one he gave her now withered with age

    Amaj7                                             D
She closes her eyes and touches the house dress that suddenly disappears

Dmaj7                          C#m         C#m7  
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown

     D                C#        Bm        E
That broke all their minds back so many years
Chorus 2
E7   A            Bm7           A        Bm7
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

    A        Bm7       A           E
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day

                           D                        A    D   A  D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

F7   B            C#m           B        C#m
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

     B       C#m        B          F#
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day

                           E                        B    C#m   B   C#m
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

G#    C#           D#m           C#        D#m
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
(begin to fade away)
     C#       D#m        C#         G#
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day

                          F#                         C#
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
