12345

Many, many years ago when

I was 23

I was married to a widow who was

[C]

1

12345

pretty as could be

This

[C]

widow had a

My

[D7]

This

[C]

1

12345

made my dad my son in law and

[G7]

2 1 3

12345

changed my very life

For my daughter was my mother 'cause she

[C]

1

12345

was my father's wife

To complicate the

[C7]

1

12345

matter even

though it brought me

I

My

[C]

little baby then became a

[G7]

brother in law to dad

And so became my uncle though it

[C]

1

12345

made me very sad

For if he were my

[C7]

1

12345

uncle that would

[F]

2 1

12345

also made him
