[G7]She hates my mama, she hates my [Am7]daddy [D7]too.
She loves to [G7]tell me, she hates the t[Am7]hings I [D7]do.
She loves to l[G7]ie beside me, almost [Bbm7]every n[Am7]ight.
[G7]She's no[D9] lady, she's my w[G7]ife.[D9]
Verse 2:
The preacher [G7]asked her, and she [Am7]said, "I[D7] do."

The preacher s[G7]ays, "I pronounce you ninety [Bbm7]nine to[Am7] life!
[G7]Son, she's no [D9]lady she's your[G7] wife!"
Bridge:
I can't [C9]remember how I met her,
Seems, she's a[G7]lways been[G#7] hangin' here off [G7]my right arm[C#9],
I can't rem[C9]ember how I ever,
Thought that [Am7]I just couldn't [Bbm7]live without a wo[Am7]man's charm[D9].
Verse 3:
Now, even [G7]though she loves the smell of [Am7]French per[D7]fume,
And even [G7]though she walks around in [Am7]high-heeled [D7]shoes,
All I [G7]know is I'm the one that [Bbm7]pays her p[Am7]rice,
[G7]Man, she's no [D9]lady, she's my [G7]wife.[D9]
