I'm Henry the 8th, I had six sorry wives.
GAmBCAm
Some might say I ruined their lives.
[Chorus]
Am
Catherine of Aragon was one
Am
She failed to give me a son.
Am
I had to ask her for a divorce
AmGFEm
That broke her poor heart, of course
[Verse]
Am
Young Anne Boleyn she was two,
Am
had a daughter the best she could do
Am
I said she flirted with some other man
AmGFEm
And off for the chop went dear Anne.

Lovely Jane Seymour was three,

The love of a lifetime for me.

Then poor old Jane, went and dropped dead.

Divorced, beheaded and died.
AmEm
Divorced, beheaded, survived.

Anne of Cleves came as four,
Am
I fell for the portrait I saw.
Am
Then laid on her face and cried, 'She's a horse!
AmGFEm
I must have another divorce.'
[Chorus]
Am
Catherine Howard was five,
Am
A child of nineteen, so alive.

She flirted with others, no way to behave.

The axe sent young Cath to her grave.
[Interlude]
AmGFEm
[Chorus]
AmAb
Catherine Parr she was last.
AmAb
By then all my best days were past.
AmB
I lay on my deathbed aged just fifty-five,
AmAb
Lucky Catherine the last stayed alive.
(I mean, how unfair!)
