Hank Williams – First Year Blues (Ukulele)

    C
Now I've been married about six months,

                    F
Only six months you see,

    G7
The first three months, was all ok,

                              C
But the last three is killin' me,

   C
My wife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin',

                                F
And then she failed to shine my shoes,

   G7
My shirts they came up wrinkled,

                               C
And then I took the first year blues.

     C
Well then she started naggin',

                     F
With dishes piled up high,

   G7
No food upon the table, she said if she was able,

                             C
She'd cook something bye and bye,

     C
Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder,

              F       G7
When I said I do, she must have read my thinkin',

                                              C
Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke into.

     C
Well I heard the dishes crashin',

                                       F
and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of sight,

    G7
for right there was my honey,

                                            C
On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynamite,

     C
Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded,

                           F
And things began to simmer down,

  G7
I found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin',

                       C
Of stitches taken all around.

     C
Well then she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin',

                          F
And then I took her in my arms,

  G7
I was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her,

                       C
She didn't do a bit of harm,

    C
Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older,

                       F
And experienced with a wife,

     G7
If I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed,

                          C
To take it the rest of my life.
