---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Year Blues - Hank Williams ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E Now I've been married about six months, A Only six months you see, B7 The first three months, was all ok, E But the last three is killin' me, E My wife began her hissin', cut down on her kissin', A And then she failed to shine my shoes, B7 My shirts they came up wrinkled,
My pants with dirt were sprinkled, E And then I took the first year blues.
E Well then she started naggin',
She left the sink a'saggin', A With dishes piled up high, B7 No food upon the table, she said if she was able, E She'd cook something bye and bye, E Then I began to wonder, if I had made a blunder, AB7 When I said I do, she must have read my thinkin', E Her eyes began to blinkin' and that gal broke into.
E Well I heard the dishes crashin', A and I began to dashin', Gettin' out of sight, B7 for right there was my honey, E On who I'd spent my money, turnin' into dynamite, E Then after she'd exploded, her meanness all unloaded, A And things began to simmer down, B7 I found myself a'bleedin', and very much a'needin', E Of stitches taken all around.
E Well then she started cryin', I felt myself a'sighin', A And then I took her in my arms, B7 I was afraid to scold her, so I just gently told her, E She didn't do a bit of harm, E Now the first six months is over, and I am much the older, A And experienced with a wife, B7 If I can stand the next six, my friends all say I'll be fixed, E To take it the rest of my life.
