Standard (EADGBE)

Did I strangle you with my love?

 Think I saw it wrapped around your throat

 This bit is played on a melodian I think

The last time I saw you, you looked so pale

And white just like a ghost

 It was fun for about 5 little minutes

 And then you cleared your throat

 My eyes swelled up, I curled my toes

 And you said I almost choked

 And you said I almost choked

 But honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

 The penny dropped even before I clocked

 Just where your hands had been

 It's like you'd done your hair for somebody else

Scared that you might have been seen

 I slipped down a flight of stairs

 And my face must have looked so long

 Cos even the dosser with the saxophone

 Was asking me what's wrong

 He said "buddy, what is wrong?"

 But honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

 Please won't you spare me the details

 Before I get up and I go

 Who was it that stabbed me in the back

 Or do you think I ought not to know?

 You see the way I was before we met

 I was curled up in a shell

 And if I'm not counting planes up in the sky

 Then I'm falling down a well

 I'm at the bottom of a well

 But honey why did you go

Behind the bunhouse?

Didn't you know how much I had to give?

You knocked me over the head

With a rolling pin

And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs
