Work In Progress

	  		note: sliding the E chord to the A and B works great, and makes excellent  
transitions.  
  
Work in Progress   by Alan Jackson, cd: Drive  
  
E  
Okay, I forgot about the trash  
A  
I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache  
E                                                B  
   I did by you a ring, I believe it was back in '93  
E  
Alright I admit, I forgot our anniversary  
A  
   I did pick up the baby, this mornin' at the nursery  
                          
A             E                      B            E   slide E to F# up to A  
That ain't no big thing, but it's a gold star for me.  
  


A  
You get tired and disgusted with me  
E  
When I can't be just what you want me to be  
A  
I still love you and I try real hard  
F#                             B 
I swear one day you'll have a brand new car  
A  
I even ask the Lord to try to help me  
E                                      A  
He looked down from heaven and said to tell you please  
        E       B              E  
Just be patient, I'm a work in progress
  

E  
I'm sorry I got mad, waitin' in the truck  
A  
It seemed like hours you getting' all dressed up  
              E                        B  
Just to go to Shoney's, on a Wednesday night  
E  
I read that book you gave me 'bout Mars and Venus  
A  
I think it's sinkin' in but I probably need to reread it  
         E                  B                         E  
But I'm startin' to see now...what you been sayin' is right

Chorus 

Instrumental A E F# B

E  
I know you meant well when you bought me them clogs,  
A  
But my heals get hot down by the mufflers on my hog  
E                                          B  
I'm sure they're stylish, but I'll take my boots  
E  
And I've tried to do that health thing like ya want me ta do  
A  
But that low fat and no fat's getting hard to chew  
E                              B                           E  
I love your cooking honey but..sometimes, I need some real food 

Chorus 

    A               E         B 
Oh honey, just be patient now, I'm a work in progress 

I need a major tune-up, maybe a little body off restoration 

I'm totaled
