Standard (EADGBE)

A friend of mine, he said to me, a skinny girl is a misery

I shook my head because I knew he couldn’t be right

 That’s when I thought back to just last night

 When I got home, it was maybe a little late

There was nary a crumb on nary a plate

There was no martini, no glass or grape

 It was then I sought to contemplate

Chorus

 Some things my baby don’t tolerate, no

My baby don’t tolerate, no

My baby don’t tolerate from me

I said hello honey, how have you been

She said what could you possibly be doing until half past ten

And not being completely insensitive I could tell my ship had run aground

Cause when I puckered up she puckered down

Chorus

Solo

Now a small more ordinary man might not appreciate the guidance of a good woman that truly loves him

He might drift in despair during the ignorant, dumb misdoings of his dirty daily existence

But that’s not me nosiree

I’m proof that true love will set you free

Chorus
