My Wife And My Dead Wife chords by Robyn Hitchcock

My Wife And My Dead Wife – Robyn Hitchcock

       C          G        C
My wife lies down in a chair, And Peels a Pear, I know she’s there
      C        G        D
I’m making coffee for two, just me and you
            C         G        D
But I come back in with coffee for three, Coffee for three
       C        G         C
My dead wife sits in a chair, combing her hair, I know she’s there
C              G         D
She wanders off to the bed, shaking her head, Robyn she said
           C  D
You know I don’t take sugar
G       C       Am         G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?
G       C         Am         G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C     Fmaj7   G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
       C            G            C
My wife sits down on the stairs, and stares into air, there’s no one there
       Am         G        D
I’m drilling holes in the wall, holes in the wall
          C              G
I turn round and my dead wife’s upstairs, she’s still wearing flares
  Fmaj7   C     G
She talks out loud, but no one hears
G       C       Am         G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her
G       C         Am         G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C     Fmaj7   G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
   C          Am       G  Fmaj7 C  G
And I cannot decide, which one I love the most
  C            Am      D
The flesh and blood, or the pale, smiling ghost
       C            G           C
My wife lies down on the beach, she’s sucking a peach, she’s out of reach
    C     Am             G         D
Of the waves that crash on the sand, where my dead wife stands, holding my hand
              C           G
Now my wife can’t swim but neither could she, and deep in the sea
   D           D
She’s waiting for me, She’s waiting for me
    C      G      Fmaj7          C
Oh, I’m such a lucky guy, ‘cause I got you baby and I’ll never be lonely
G       C     Am           G
My wife and my dead wife, am I the only one that sees her?
G       C         Am         G
My wife and my dead wife, Doesn’t anybody see her at all?
C     Fmaj7   G
No, no no, no no no, nooooo
C     Fmaj7   C
No, no no, no no no, no
