Married By The Bible, Divorced By The Law

	  		G 
What a strange world we live in,  
       C                A7 
What a shame, Oh what a shame! 
D                                               G 
Someone's always quarrellin' the marriage don't remain. 
                                  C           A7 
Divorces by the thousands; is the human race insane? 
  D                                               G 
I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing. 

                     C                A7

D                                                 G 
Ev'ry day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw. 
                                                 C 
Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of  
                                                        A7 
                                                 Ma and Pa, 
           D                                        G 
They were married by the Bible, no divorces by the law.
 
 
 
 
 
                           C             A7 
Steps are often taken with-out thinking twice 
    D 
And often there's a child or two who's left to pay the  
                                                     G 
                                                     price. 
                                      C 
Those little hearts so innocent they don't know who's to  
                                                      A7 
                                                     blame, 
    D                                                 G 
No Mom and Dad to love them, what a shame, oh what a shame!
