[Verse 1]
Bm D/C The scaffolder's wife D driving out of the yard G with a face that's as hard D as a scaffolder's bar - A When she goes into town F#7 she might take the top down Bm E Bm - on the car
[Verse 2]
Bm D/C The quick little steps D in the stiletto boots G and the hair with the roots D She comes in as a rule A to get the nails done F#7 and the tan for the sun Bm E Bm when the kids are in school
[Chorus]
Bm G Don't begrudge her the Merc A it's been nothing but work D D/C# Bm and a hard life Bm/A G Losing her looks A over company books G - the scaffolder's wife
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Bm D/C In the wicked old days D when they went it alone G kept the company going D on a wing and a prayer A They don't pay what they owe F#7 when they have the cash flow Bm E Bm - they don't care
[Chorus]
Bm G Don't begrudge her the Merc A it's been nothing but work D D/C# Bm and a hard life Bm/A G Losing her looks A over company books G - the scaffolder's wife
