By Kenny Chesney

I hope this version works for you as well as it did for me. It is a very
good song that liberates the male gender.
Verse 1
G
Now, the Bible tells a story ‘bout Adam’s rib.
C
How the Lord made a woman for companionship,
G D G
Hell, the first thing she did was take a bit of that forbidden fruit.
Verse 2
G
I Guess we’ll be paying till the end of time,
C
At least that’s how it is with that woman of mine,
G D G
Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back.
Chorus:
C
Well, this is wrong and baby that ain’t right,
G
But I’m working trying to please that woman day and night
C D
She’s never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
G
This is gotta change or honey I’m gonna leave,
C
Well I won’t let evolution make a Monkey outta me
G D G
Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back
Verse 3
There’s been a hole in my wallet and a pain in my side,
Every since I made that girl my blushing bride
Her daddy calls her angel and her mama calls her three times a night
Verse 4
Her cousin’s on my sofa, her sisters got my car
Her brother’s drank my liquer like my house was a bar,
Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back
Chorus once Again
