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

Chorus 1

  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
