Dubliners - Dont Get Married chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Another Irish tune from back in the day, this song goes
down well at wedding and engagement parties, aaahh wedded bliss,
and The Dubliners givin' away all our secrets.
I really have to find another font to use,
'cause I'm fecked off altogether backspacing, backspacing,
backspacing to get the chords in near the right place.

DON'T GET MARRIED
Em A Em
Don't get married girl, You'll sign away your life
G D C D Em
You may start off as a woman, But you'll end up as the wife
Em A Em
You could be a Vestal Virgin, Take the veil and be a nun
G D C B7
But don't get married girl, For marraige isn't fun
E Em B7
Oh it's fine when you're romancing, And he plays the lovers part
A E Em B7
You're the roses in his garden, You're the flame that warms his heart
A E A E
And his love will last forever, And he'll promise you the moon
B7 E B7 E
But just wait until you're wedded, Then he'll sing a different tune
A E A E
You're his tapioca pudding, You're the dumplings in his stew
A E Em B7
But he'll soon begin to wonder, What he ever saw in you
A E A E
Sure he takes without complaining, All the dishes you provide
B7 E B7 E
For you see he's got to have, His bit of jam tart, On the side

Em A Em
So don't get married girls, It's very badly paid
G D C D Em
You may start off as the mistress, But you'll end up as the maid
Em A Em
Be a daring deep sea diver, Be a polished polyglot
G D C B7
But don't get married girls, For marriage is a plot
E Em B7
Aarh you seen him in the morning, With a face that looks like death
A E Em B7
With dandruff on his pillow, And tobacco on his breath
A E A E
And he needs some reassurance, With his cup of tea in bed
B7 E B7 E
For he's worried by the mortgage, And the bald patch on his head
A E A E
And he's sure that you're his mother, Lays his head upon your breast
A E Em B7
So you try to boost his ego, Iron his shirt, And warm his vest
A E A E
Then you get him off to work, The mighty hunter is restored
B7 E B7 E
And he leaves you there with nothing, But the dreams you can't afford
Em A Em
So don't get married girls, 'Cause men are all the same
G D C D Em
They'll just use you, When they want you, You'd do better on the game
Em A Em
Be a call girl, Be a stripper, Be a hostess, Be a whore
G D C B7
But don't get married girls, For marriage is a bore
E Em B7
When he comes home in the evening, He can hardly spare a look
A E Em B7
All he says is ''What's for dinner?'', After all you're just the cook
A E A E
But when he takes you to a party, Where he eye's you with a frown
B7 E B7 E
For you know you've got to look your best, You mustn't let him down
A E A E
And he'll clutch you with that look,While 'ere's that twinkle in his eyes
A E Em B7
Like he's entered for a raffle, And he's won you for the prize
A E A E
Ahh but when the partys over, You'll be slogging through the sludge
B7 E B7 E
Half the time a decoration, The other half, A drudge
Em A Em
So don't get married, It'll drive you round the bend
G D C D Em
It's a lane without a turning, It's the end without an end
Em A Em
Take a lover every friday, Take up tennis, Be a nurse
G D C B7
But don't get married girls, For marriage is a curse
A E A E
Then you get him off to work, The mighty hunter is restored
B7 E B7 E
And he leaves you there with nothing, But the dreams you can't afford
