      Here comes my wife  by Cat Stevens  (1968)

Intro (After fan fare)
  A    D     A    D     A    D     A    D
| / /  / / | / /  / / | / /  / / | / /  / / |



Chorus
             A    D  E   E7                  A    D     E  E7
Well, here comes my wife,   and that's the story of my life,
      Bm       F#m                    F
She haunts me,     though she don't want me, 
      E      E7    A  D   E    E7
She follows badly in dis-guise,
              A       D     E          E7          Bm
But it's not hard to recog-nise her, 'cause she's crying,
F#m                  F       E    D
    She looks like dying on me------!



Verse 1
       A                        D2/A
Her father's rich, I think a millionaire,
E                        D2/A
   But the money doesn't make him better,
          A                     D2/A  
It just makes him better to be there----, 
E                                  F
   So she can tell him that it's quite alright,
               Am               E    D
No, no, it's quite alright with me-----!



Chorus
             A    D  E   E7                 A    D     E   E7
Well, here comes my wife,  and that's the story of my life,
      Bm       F#m                    F
She haunts me,     though she don't want me, 
      E      E7    A  D   E    E7
She follows badly in dis-guise,
              A        D    E          E7           Bm
But it's not hard to recog-nise her, 'cause she's crying,
F#m                 F       E    D
    She looks like dying on me------!






Verse 2
 A                      D2/A
See that shadow dancing  on  the floor?
 E                    D2/A
   She's coming up be-hind me,
          A                      D2/A  
How I'd love to tell her she's a bore,
E                             F
   But I tell her that it's quite alright,
              Am                E   D
No, no, it's quite alright with me-----!


Chorus
             A    D  E   E7                 A    D     E  E7
Well, here comes my wife,  and that's the story of my life,
      Bm       F#m                   F
She haunts me,     though she don't want me, 
      E      E7    A  D   E    E7
She follows badly in dis-guise,
              A        D    E          E7           Bm
But it's not hard to recog-nise her, 'cause she's crying,
F#m                 F       E   D   E   D
    She looks like dying on me------------!
