You Were Named Co-Respondent Cifras

[Chorus]
N.C.     G                        D
You were named co-respondent in a divorce suit today
           A7                                     D          D7
That's the legal way of saying y'all went all the way, hey!
              G                                  D
And I've been sittin' here a-prayin' that's it's just some bad mistake
         A7                       G              D

[Verse 1]
        D                                   A
Oh, the sheriff came by the house with a sa-peen-o in his hand
A                                             D
He was looking for you, and I said I was your man
       D                             A
Oh, he didn't pull his pistol but he sure 'nuff shot me down
         A
He said: son, she's in a divorce suit
                              D
She's the means and she's the grounds!

[Verse 2]
      D                                   A
Baby, sit right down beside me, take your time and just explain
         A                                                D
How that lawyer knew about you, how this paper's got your name?
          D                           A
Lord, I'm tryin' to believe you, baby tell me where I'm at
   A                                                     D
If this ain't true why should someone claim a thing like that?
