[Bm] I'm sure you're familiar with [Eb] love [G] songs on the order of, he's just my Bill, [A] my man, my
Joe, [Ab] my Max, and so [N] on.
The girl who sings them tells you that although the man she loves
is antisocial, alcoholic, physically repulsive, or just plain unsanitary, nevertheless she
is his because he is hers, and like that.
But as far as I know there is never a song
from the analogous male point of view, that is to say, of a man who finds himself in love
with, or in this case married to, a girl who has nothing whatsoever to recommend her.
I
have attempted to fill this need.
The song is called, She's My Girl.

[F] The girl that I lament for, [Em] the girl my money's spent for, the [Dm] girl my back is bent for, the girl
I [A] owe the rent [Db] for, [G] the girl I gave up lent for, [C] is the girl that heaven meant for [Dm] me.
[G] [C] So for breakfast, [A] she makes coffee [Dm] that tastes like [G] shampoo.
[C] I [Dm] come home for dinner [E] and get peanut
