Woman In The Back Of My M Chords by Mel Tillis

[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
I [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] see my wife working, _ ironing my shirts, and [Gm] my mind goes to another day, _ _ _ [C] and to [Gm] another
woman [C] who might have been [Gm] my wife [C] if things hadn't turned out [F] this way.
_ [C] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ [F] Lord knows I love her, [Dm] but I [F] often wonder [Gm] if they [D] should pull [Gm] back the _ blinds.
_ _ _ [C]
How would [Gm] my wife feel [C] if she could [Gm] see _ [C] the woman in the back of [F] my _ mind? _
Does she do things fancy?
[Dm] Does she have [F] a family?
[Gm] Is she as happy as I? _ _
_ [C] Does she spend [Gm] her afternoons [C] just playing [Gm] bridge [C] or begging the children [F] _ goodbye?
[Am] _ _ _ [F] And I often wonder [Dm] if she [F] thinks of me [Gm] when she hears [F#] those old church [Gm] bells _ chime.
_ _ _ [C] Though it's [Gm] been long ago, [C] at times I [Gm] miss her so, [C] the woman in the back of [F] my _ [Am] mind. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] Suddenly I come back to right here and now, and [Am] the dream that [E] I've seen come [Am] to life.
_ _ And [D] I hope she's [Am] as happy [D] with somebody [Am] _ else [D] as I am with my [G] loving [Em] wife.
[G] _ _ _
I might have been [Bm] wrong, _ [Em]
but it's [G] been so long, [Am] and _ [E] things work [Am] out in time. _ _
[G] _ [D] But I'd like [Am] to say _
[D] I'm sorry _ [Am] someday to [D] the woman in the back of [G] my _ _ _ mind.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
