A    A9  A   A9           G#7 
I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see 
    A7M/9                     C#m5-/7   F#7 
I'm just glad I'm living, I'm happy to be 
D            D6        D7M        Dm6 
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me  
A    F#m        D9   E7 
She's funny that way 
    A    A9  A  A9       G#7 
I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent 
A7M  A7M/9  F#m           C#m5-/7    F#7 
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent 
D         D6     D7M        Dm6 
I've got a woman, crazy for me  
A     D9   E7/13  A 
She's funny that way 
Bridge 
E7         Fdim      E7      Bm5-/7      A       F#m 
Though I know she'd work and slave for me every day 
B7      Cdim     B7    Bm5-/7   D Cdim  E7 
She'd be so much better off if I went away 
      A    A9  A   A9       G#7 
But why should I leave her? Why should I go 
A7M     A7M/9 F#m         C#m5-/7    F#7 
He'd be unhappy    without me, I know 
D           D6         D7M       Dm6 
I've got a woman who's crazy for me  
A     D9   E7/13  A 
She's funny that way
