Seven Years With The Wrong Woman
As recorded by Eddy Arnold (Circa 1940's)
Written by Bob Miller
[3/4 time] played in D, with capo on first fret to match
the youtube video. Use the transpose function here (if needed)
to fit your 'own' vocal range. A really, 'fun' club song!
D G D
Seven years with the wrong woman
A7
Is more than a man can stand
Seven years with the wrong woman
D
Will wreck most any good man
G D
Seven years with the wrong woman
D7 G
It's the same in the mountain or dale
D
She'll stay awake all night trying to start a fight
A7 D
Then have you thrown into jail
G D
Seven years with the wrong woman
A7
Is punishment that is bad
Seven years with the wrong woman
D
Will drive most any man mad
G D
When you've married the wrong woman
D7 G
There is only one thing you can do
D
Dig youself a hole then crawl in that hole
A7 D
Then pull the ground over you
Instrumental (a full verse played)
G D
Listen boys if you're thinking of marriage
A7
Take warning to what I tell
Don't you marry the wrong woman
D
It's worse than living in jail
G D
Seven years with the wrong woman
D7 G
It'll age you and turn your hair gray
D
They say love is blind but search 'til you find
A7 D
A face you can stand every day
