C Am F G C Am F G
[Chorus]
C Am F G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
C Am F G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
C C7 F Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
F G C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
[Verse 1]
C Am F G
Once upon a time, turns out it’s complicated
C Am Dm G
for Tommy Lee in second grade I waited and I waited
C C7 F Dm
I wrote a note on Valentines and said check yes or no
F G C
he crumpled up my paper so I punched him in the throat
(no break between verse and chorus)
[Chorus]
C Am F G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
C Am F G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
C C7 F Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
F G C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
(intro rif between chorus and verses)
[Verse 2]
C Am F G
I bought a wedding dress just in case someone was lookin’
C Am Dm G
I practiced on my sewin’ and I practiced all my cookin’
C C7 F Dm
I found a handsome guy who said he’d love me like no other
F G C
but sadly mama says it doesn’t count since he’s my brother
[Chorus]
C Am F G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
C Am F G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
C C7 F Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
F G C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
[Verse 3]
(Diamonds)
C Am F G
I finally got a strategy and caught myself a man
C Am F G
I pepper sprayed his eyeballs and I threw him in my van
C C7 F Dm
I took him to the church and when at last we heard the bells
F G G (stay on G here)
he somehow got away and now i hope he goes to WELL
[Chorus]
C Am F G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
C Am F G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
C C7 F Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
F G C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
