Mickey`s warning

 

      Am          E              Am

1. Friends, I have a sad story,

        F                        C

    a very sad story to tell,

       Am            F                C  -     E

    I married a man for his money,

                   Am                    E          Am

    and he`s worse than the devil himself.

 

                           Dm          Am

So I`ll go and I`ll get blue bleezin` blind drunk,

 F                               C   -       E

just to give Mickey a warning.

        Am                F            C              E

And then just for spite, I`ll stay out all night

                 Am                E                Am

and come rollin` home drunk in the morning.

 

               Am                   E                Am

2. When Mickey comes home in the evening,

           F                                   C

    he batters me all black and blue,

            Am              F                C  -      E

    and if I say one word I get splattered

                  Am                E             Am

    from the kitchen right ben to the room.     + CHORUS

 

                    Am             E                Am

3. Well, of Whisky I`ve ne`er been a lover,

              F                                 C

    but what can a poor woman do.

        Am              F                  C            -  E

    I`ll go and I`ll drown all my sorrows,

              Am                E                  Am

    how I wish I could drown Mickey, too.  + CHORUS
