Banjo Tuned E, Capo 3, Key of A
Chorus:
Sh[E]ort life of t[A]rouble
It's only wise that we[E] part
Short life of tr[A]ouble
For[E] a boy with a [B7]broken h[E]eart
Instrumental:
You[E] know what you pr[A]omised
Not more than three weeks[E] ago
You promised that you'd m[A]arry me
Stan[E]ding there by by your m[B7]ama's kitchen [E]door
Chorus:
Now you've broken your promise
So marry who you may
This old world is so big and so wide
I'll ramble back again someday
