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               D
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



[Bridge]
C  Am  F  G  C  Am  F  G


[Verse 1]
C           Am              F           G
Once upon a time, turns out it’s compli-cated
    C            Am             Dm           G
for Tommy Lee in second grade I waited and I waited
  C               C7             F                 D
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


[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               D
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


[Bridge]
C  Am  F  G


[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               D
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               D
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


[Bridge]
C  Am  F  G


[Verse 3]
  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                 D
I took him to the church and when at last we heard the bells
   F                          G               G
he somehow got away and now i hope he goes to WELL (stay on G here)


[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               D
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


[Outro]
   F                        G            C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
