Househusband Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bb]Well,[G][Bb][G]
I worked like a dog
for several years
at different jobs
Never [C]did get used to
how it makes you feel
But [D]that was back before a woman
needed something more
Than keeping house,
having kids to make it [G]real
Now I start my day
right at the crack of noon
I lay there in the [C]bed and thum
b [C]through playboy
every [C]shoes since [D]she got liberated son
it's her who brings the bacon home me
I got them house husband [G]blues
[C]yes i got them house husband blues
[A]now i see what she
was going [D]through
as [G]soon as the subs are over
i'll put on some beans
[C]i'll fix the bed
as soon as i read my magazine
take a [C]pill [D]for my headache
like them tv lovers do lord
i got them house husband
[G]blues[Bb][G]
[Bb]Mmmmm, mmmmm, [G]mmmmm
My buddies laughed at me
the day I set my honey free
To get [C]her all the liberation she can grab
At [D]first it hurt my pride,
now I'm takin' it in stride
She's holding down the job I used to [G]have
I admire a man who's strong enough to stand and
say that he won't [C]play a role to please society
I'm [D]not alone in my beliefs,
the milkmaid said that she
agreed this morning
when she had a cup with [G]me
I sure [C]got them house husband blues,
yes I'm a [A]-taking care of
her business [D]too
Well, [G]I'm talkin' on the phone,
signing her name to the checks
[C]Making her a home
is making me a nervous wreck
But [C]she expect[D]s me to be ready
anytime she's in the mood
Lord, I got been house husband [G]blues
I'm coming [D]down with a house husband
[G]blues[Bb][Bb][G][Bb]
[G]
You
