MY WIFE THINKS YOU'RE DEAD
Recorded by Junior Brown
>From the album: Junior High
Origianally transcribed by: Gene L. Graham
The original transcription is in D. After listening to the recording I found
that it is played in E. I have re-chorded the original transcription as
follows.
E It's good to see you, baby, it's been a long, long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But A things are really different now, since the good old days
And E you've been in some trouble, since we went our separate ways
We'll B7 have to say hello, maybe some A other time instead
'Cause you're E wanted by the Police
And B7 my wife thinks you're E dead.
E Somebody spread the rumor that you had lost your life
That's the way I heard it and what I told my wife
Now, A here you're showin' up again and talk is gettin' 'round
And E I can see that one of us will have to leave this town
If you B7 think that I want trouble, then A you're crazy in your head
'Cause you're E wanted by the Police
And B7 my wife thinks you're dead.
E You never called or wrote me, just up and disappeared
Nobody knew what happened, where you been for all these years
Well, A trouble's what you lookin' like, so, trouble where you been
And E I can see the kind of trouble you could get me in
You better B7 pay attention to A ev'ry word I said
'Cause you're E wanted by the Police
And B7 my wife thinks you're dead.
E So, goodbye to you baby, I'm glad we go to talk
But I'm faithful to my wife and I don't ever break the law
I A don't know where ya headed for but I know where you been
We E reminisced, now, let's just go our separate ways again
Go find B7 another ex-sweetheart to A hang around instead
Cause you're E wanted by the Police
And B7 my wife thinks you're dead.
TAG: I said, you're wanted by the Police and my wife thinks you're dead.
