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
