Well, I guess it was back in '63
When eatin' my cookin' got the better of me                 lead guitar

So I asked this little girl I was goin' with to be my wife
E
Well, she said she would...So I said,'I do'
But I'da said, 'I wouldn't'.If I'da just knew how sayin' 'I do'
                          E   {E G A B A G E }
Was gonna screw up all o' my life

I'll never forget the good times we had

Cause I'm reminded every month when I send her the child sup-port

The day I came home and found my suitcase sittin'out on the porch

E
Well, I tried to get in, she changed the lock
A
....Then I found this note taped on the mailbox that said
