Three

	  		    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 
From that day on that's all I ever 
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#7 F#     
To be three
