Standard (EADGBE)

We must say good-bye, there's no need for you to cry

 It's better that I tell you this to-night

 Our affair has been quite heated,

 You thought I was what you needed

 But the time has come, my darlin'

 To set things right

Chorus

  I'll be harder than yer husband to get along with

  Harder than yer husband every night

  I'll be harder than yer husband, harder than yer husband

  An' I don't want our love affair to end with a fight

 You been like a little angel, how you loved me

 An' I appreciate the warmth of your embrace

 Well, the world don't need to know how I adored you

 But the time has come, my darlin'

 T' tell you this face to face...

 So it's adios, adios, my little darlin'

 Keep that hankie that I gave you for when you cried

 There are things that trouble me,

 And I'm sure that you must see

 That it breaks my heart the same as yours

 When we say good-bye

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer... much, much, much

Harder than yer husband

Harder than yer...
