  • Here are the Lyrics and the chords so you know when to play each pattern:
     
    C C
  • She don't like her eggs all runny, She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
    F C
    She looks down her nose at money, She gets it on like the Easter Bunny,
  • G G C
    She's my baby, I'm her honey, I ain't never gonna let her go.
     
  • C C
    He ain't got laid in a month of sundays, caught him once he was sniffing my
    undies
  • F C
    He ain't too sharp but he gets things done, drinks his beer like its oxygen
    G G C
  • He's my baby, and I'm his honey, Never gonna let him Go
     
    Chorus:
  • C F C
    In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sittin' on a rainbow
    G C F
  • Against all odds, Honey we're the big door prize, We're gonna spite, Our
    C G
    noses right off of our faces, There won't be nothing but big old hearts
  • C
    dancing in our eyes.
     
  • Instrumental break:

    Rest of the song continues as normal:
  •  
    C C
    She thinks all my jokes are corny, Convict movies make her horny,
  • F C
    She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs, swears like a sailor when she
     
  • shaves her legs.
    G C
    She takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin', Never gonna let her go
  •  
    C C
    He's got more balls than a big brass monkey, He's a whacked out weirdo and
  • a lovebug junkie
    F C
    Sly as a fox, Crazy as a loon, Payday comes and he's a-howling at the moon,
  • G C
    He's my baby, I don't mean maybe, Never gonna let him go
     
  • Chorus x 2 and fade out.
     
    This should be a pretty good guide to the song. There are several ways to
  • play these fingerpicked countryish tunes and make them sound great.
    Experiment. Thank you, Mr Prine, for being a fantastic songwriter.
  • PLAY TOO ..
