Three

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