verse 1 

    E               B            D             A 
You know my love my only wish is happiness for you 
     E                 C#m            E     F#          B   
So I work real hard to strike it rich   but everytime I do 
E                  B                D           A 
  I blow it all on some ol' witch I hardly ever knew 
E        G#m   C#m    F#     F#7     A            E   B 
How come every time I itch I wind up   scratchin' you 

verse 2 

E                      B             D             A 
When ever things ain't goin' right I hurry home to you 
    E                    C#m     E     Bbm          B 
You kiss my lips and you comfort me as only you can do 
        E              B                   D              A 
But the eagle flies on Friday night and my senses fly off too 
E              C#m     E     F#      A             E    
How come every time I itch I wind up    scratchin' you 


[Refrão]

  F#              F#7            B 
I dream of comin' home to you  A knight in shinin' armour 
          A                    E 
'Cause it seems to me that you rate much more 
       F#                    B      B7 
Than a broken down    busted farmer. 

verse 3 

E             B           D                A 
  Everytime I get ahead I act like someone new 
  E          G#m        C#m         E F#7             F#    B 
I waste the whole night talkin' big      and spendin' money too 
       E            B          D            A 
Then I sneak in bed beside you    broke and blue 
E              C#m    B      F#      A             E   B   
How come every time I itch I wind up    scratchin' you 

D  A  E  C#m  A   B  E
