Capo on 5th


1.)
I once met a country gentleman's wife
   D			A	
who told me of ev'rything she owned.
    Bm		F#m		D	Bm
Show showed me her diamond bracelets
	D			A
and talked about her stately home.
      Bm	 E7	      A7
And all thru the conversation
     G	 	  A	D      Bm
her hand was on my knee,
     G	     Em	    A7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
     Bm	    G	    D		E7
is gonna get possession of me.
     G          A	    D


2.)
She told me her country gentleman
     D			 A
was hardly ever at home
    Bm	   F#m	    D	Bm
and if I would like to call on her
    D			A
she'd make sure we were alone.
       Bm	E7	  A7
And if I liked we could have supper
       G	    A	      D	    Bm
with sparkling champagne,
	G    Em	    A7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
    Bm	    G	    D		E7
is gonna get me for game.
     G	     A	     D


3.)
She told me her country gentleman
     D			  A
was sixty five years old,
     Bm	   F#m	      D	   Bm
and as she was only thirty one
     D		     A
her bed at night was cold.
     Bm	    E7		A7
And if I would like to warm it up
       G	A	D	Bm
she'd shower me with gratitude,
	G	Em	A7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
    Bm	    G	    D		E7
is gonna get me in the nude.
    G	     A		 D


4.)
I said I was a man with principles
   D			    A
and respected the marriage vows,
      Bm	    F#m	    D   Bm
but if she really wanted to
     D		    A
she might persuade me somehow
     Bm	     E7		A7
for one square meal of every day
     G		A	D	Bm
an unlimited supply of booze,
	G	Em	A7
and any old country gentleman's wife
     Bm	     G	     D		E7
can do anything they choose,
     G	   A		D
and any old country gentleman's wife
     Bm	     G	     D		E7
can do anything they choose,
     G	   A		D
