THE CONCUBINE SONG

VERSE

G D
Working in rice paddies all day
C G
spend my time thinking of you
C G
When I come home it's worth it
D G
to hear you call me ... your wife number two

first wife gives me a dirty look
but I'm still proud to be me
no matter what I'll always know
I'm better... than wife number three

CHORUS

C G
it's not easy but it's not so bad
C G
to be your concubine
C Am
But even though I have to share you
C D
I can still call you mine

VERSE

I know I'm number one in your heart
now that number five's gained some weight
wife number six is no longer with us
don't get me started... on wife number eight

BRIDGE

C
you're not so bad
Em
you're kind of a looker
Am
a generous man
D
you bought me a rice cooker

CHORUS

VERSE

tonight's my night to spend with you
I'm gonna bear you a son
not like that worthless daughter
you got from -- who's that? Oh that's right: wife number one
