D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Tammy Wynette
G C G
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
A7 D7
So we spell out the words we don't want him to under-stand
G G7 C D7 G
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R - P-R-I-S-E
C G
But the words we're hiding from him now
D7 G
Tear the heart right out of me
G7 C D7 G
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final to-day
A7 D7
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' a-way
G G7 C D7 G
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
C G D7 G
Oh I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
G C G
Watch him smile he thinks it Christmas Or his 5th Birthday
A7 D7
And he thinks C-U-S-O-T-D-Y spells fun or play
G G7
I spell out all the hurtin' words
C D7 G
And turn my head when I speak
G
'Cause I can't spell a-way this hurt
D7 G
That's drippin' down my cheek
C D7 G
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final to-day
A7 D7
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' a-way
G G7 C D7 G
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
C G D7 G
Oh I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
