Country Gentlemans Wife (CHORDS) by Alan Hull
[Verse 1]~
D A
I once met a country gentleman's wife
Bm F#m D Bm
who told me of ev'rything she owned!
D A
Show showed me her diamond bracelets
Bm E7 A7
and talked about her stately home!
G A D Bm
And all thru the conversation
G Em A7
her hand was on my knee,..
Bm G D E7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
G A D
is gonna get possession of me!
[Verse 2]~
D A
She told me her country gentleman
Bm F#m D Bm
was hardly ever at home
D A
and if I would like to call on her
Bm E7 A7
she'd make sure we were alone!
G A D Bm
And if I liked we could have supper
G Em A7
with sparkling champagne,..
Bm G D E7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
G A D
is gonna get me for game!
[Verse 3]~
D A
She told me her country gentleman
Bm F#m D Bm
was sixty five years old,..
D A
and as she was only thirty one
Bm E7 A7
her bed at night was cold!
G A D Bm
And if I would like to warm it up
G Em A7
she'd shower me with gratitude,..
Bm G D E7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
G A D
is gonna get me in the nude!
[Verse 4]~
D A
I said I was a man with principles
Bm F#m D Bm
and respected the marriage vows,..
D A
but if she really wanted to
Bm E7 A7
she might persuade me somehow
G A D Bm
for one square meal of every day
G Em A7
an unlimited supply of booze,..
Bm G D E7
and any old country gentleman's wife
G A D
can do anything they choose,..
