[Verse]
 E
The day that we were married
A
The people shook my hand
 B7
They said we two were now as one
 A E
And me a lucky man
 E
From that day on that's all I ever
A
Wanted us to be
B7
Until the day you told me
 E
We'd be three

[Verse]
 E 
Then we began the waiting
 A
And made our little jokes
B7
You couldn't look at monkeys
 A E
And I gave up my smokes
E 
You prophasized he'd be a boy
A 
And look a lot like me
B7
Lord but I was proud
 E
That we'd be three

[Verse]
 F 
One night the endless days of waiting
Bb
All came to an end
 C7
You woke me from my restless sleep
 Bb F
And said we must go in
 F
The sun won't rise on any day
Bb
Again like that for me
C7
The day had come when
 F
Two would soon be three
 F
I smoked an endless burning chain 
Bb
Of bitter cigarettes
C7
I must have walked a thousand miles
 Bb F
With fear in every step 

[Verse]
F
Two long days and two long nights
Bb
That I refused to sleep
C7
And they were losing hope
 F
That we'd be three 
 F#
The preacher came, the doctor came
B 
And said I must be brave
 C7#
I remember saying
 B F
It was more than I could take
F#
Now what's the world to do with 
 B
Any crazy man like me
 C7#
A lonely one who wanted
 B C#7 F# 
To be three
