Robyn Hitchcock – My Wife And My Dead Wife (Guitar)

             C                    G               C
My wife lies down in a chair, and peels a pear, I know she’s there

           Am              G               D
I’m making coffee for two, just me and you 

                        C                 G               D
But I come back in with coffee for three, coffee for three

             C                G                 C
My dead wife sits in a chair, combing her hair, I know she’s there

            Am              G                 D
She wanders off to the bed, shaking her head, Robyn she said

                      C   G   D                     
You know I don’t take sugar

G              C             Am                  G          D
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?

G              C                  Am                 G
My wife and my dead wife, doesn’t anybody see her at all?

C   Am  F   C        G  
No, no no, no no no, nooooo

             C                       G                        C
My wife sits down on the stairs, and stares into air, there’s no one there

             Am                 G                D
I’m drilling holes in the wall, holes in the wall

                    C                           G
I turn round and my dead wife’s upstairs, she’s still wearing flares

    F         C         G
She talks out loud, but no one hears

G              C             Am                  G       D
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her

G              C                  Am                 G
My wife and my dead wife, doesn’t anybody see her at all?

C    Am  F   C       G 
No, no no, no no no, nooooo

      C                    F              G    F  C   G
And I cannot decide, which one I love the most

    C                       Am            D
The flesh and blood, or the pale, smiling ghost

             C                        G                      C
My wife lies down on the beach, she’s sucking a peach, she’s out of reach

       C          Am                          G                 D
Of the waves that crash on the sand, where my dead wife stands, holding my hand

                           C                      G
Now my wife can’t swim but neither could she, and deep in the sea

      D                     D
She’s waiting for me, she’s waiting for me

        C            G           F                       C
Oh, I’m such a lucky guy, ‘cause I got you baby and I’ll never be lonely

G              C          Am                     G        D
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?

G              C                  Am                 G
My wife and my dead wife, doesn’t anybody see her at all?

C     Am  F   C      G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo

C     Am  F   C       G
No, no no, no no no, no
