        THE PILL   Loretta Lynn

      F           Bb                       F
You wined me and dined me when I was your girl
(F)                                              C
Promised if I'd be your wife you'd show me the world
F                     Bb                                   F
But all I've seen of this old world is a bed and a doctor bill
(F)                                   C                      F
I'm tearing down your brooder house cause now I've got the pill
(F)                      Bb                                 F
All these years I've stayed at home while you had all your fun
(F)                                           C
And every year that's gone by another baby's come
           F            Bb                                F                       
There's gonna be some changes made right here on nursery hill
(F)                                           C                F
You've set this chicken your last time cause now I've got the pill
C                                     Bb            F  
This old maturity dress I've got is going in the garbage
      C                               Bb                    C
The clothes I'm wearing from now on won't take up so much yardage
F            Bb                                 F
Mini skirts hots pants and a few little fancy frills
(F)                                      C                 F
Yea, I'm making up for all those years since I've got the pill

(F#)                                                C#
While holding a couple in my arms another's on the way
F#                    B                                       F#
