The [E]day that we were married
[A]The people shook my hand
They [B7]said we two were now as one
And [A]me a lucky [E]man
[E]
[A]Wanted us to be
[B7]Until the day you told me
We'd be [E]three
Then [E]we began the waiting
And [A]made our little jokes
[B7]You couldn't look at monkeys
And [A]I gave up my [E]smokes
[E]You prophasized he'd be a boy
[A]And look a lot like me
[B7]Lord but I was proud
That we'd be [E]three
One [F]night the endless days of waiting
[Bb]All came to an end
You [C7]woke me from my restless sleep
And [Bb]said we must go [F]in
The [F]sun won't rise on any day
[Bb]Again like that for me
[C7]The day had come when
Two would soon be [F]three
I [F]smoked an endless burning chain
[Bb]Of bitter cigarettes
[C7]I must have walked a thousand miles
With [Bb]fear in every [F]step
[F]Two long days and two long nights
[Bb]That I refused to sleep
[C7]And they were losing hope
That we'd be [F]three
The [F#]preacher came, the doctor came
[B]And said I must be brave
I [C7#]remember saying
It [B]was more than I could [F]take
[F#]Now what's the world to do with
Any [B]crazy man like me
A [C7#]lonely one who wanted
To be [B]thr[C#7]ee[F#]
