[Verse 1]
        G
Now the Bible tells a story about Adam's rib

        C
How the Lord made a woman for companionship

    G                                                     D7
The first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit

  G
I guess we'll be payin' till the end of time

   C
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine

   G       D7                  G
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
[Chorus]
    C
Now this is wrong and baby that ain't right

    G
I'm workin', tryin' to please that woman day and night

      C                                                    D7
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can

G
Hey, she's gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave

  C
I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me

   G       D7                  G
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
[Verse 2]
               G
There's been a hole in my wallet and a pain in my side

C
Ever since I made that girl my blushin' bride

    G                                                           D7
Her daddy calls her angel and her momma calls us three times a night

    G
Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car

    C
Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar

   G       D7                  G
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
[Chorus]
C
This is wrong and baby that ain't right

I'm workin', tryin' to please that woman day and night

Hey, she's gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave

I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
