It is what it is through the whole song   (E  -  A  -  B  -  E) 

=================================== 

E  
Now I've been marr__ied  

About six months 
                     A 
Only six months you_ see_ 


B 
The first three months 

Was all ok  
                            E 
The last three__s killin'__ me 



My wife began to hissin'  

She cut down on her kissin' 
                                  A 
And then she failed to shi_ne my shoes 


B 
My shirts they came up wrinkled 

My pants with dirt were sprinkled 
                             E 
And I too__k the first year blues 


Well then she started naggin' 
She left the sink a saggin' 
With dishes piled up high 

No food upon the table 
She said if I get able 
I'd cook something bye__ and bye__ 

Then I began to wonder 
If I had made a blunder 
When I__ said I_ do 

She must have read my thinkin' 
Her eyes began to blinkin'  
And that gal broke in two__ 

Well I heard the dishes crashin' 
And I began to dashin' 
Gettin' out of sight 

For right there was my honey 
On who I'd spent my money 
Turnin' in__ to dy__na_mi__te 

Then after she'd exploded 
Her meanness all unloaded 
And things began to simmer down 

I found myself a bleedin' 
And very much a needin' 
Of stitches taken a__ll around 

Well then she started cryin' 
I felt myself a sighin' 
And then I took her in my arms 

I was afraid to scold her 
So I just gently told her 
She didn't do___ a bi__t of ha__rm 

Now the first six months is over 
And I'm much the older 
And experienced with a__ wife 

If I can take the next six 
My friends all say I'll be fixed 
To take i__t the rest of my__ li__fe
