This is for the woman’ I'm glad I never met

Cause you would have made’ my life hell

You would have said you loved me’ for who I am

But you would have tried to change’ everything that I am

Chorus:

A (I)        0           E(I)    0                    A(VI)                   E(I)  : ||

Now I’m glad I never met you at all

BB in

2^nd.

You would have demanded’ a house and a car

Even though I couldn't’ afford at all

You would have asked me to pay’ all your bills

But you couldn't stop buying’ all those thrills you got

Chorus:

Now I’m glad that I never met you at all  : ||3x

Break BB off

Solo

break

3^rd.

You would have forbidden me all’ the things I like

But you yourself don't like’ nothing at all

You would have tried to make me’ beg you for love

But I beg you please, stay’ away from me all the time  : ||3x BB 3^{rd Break}

Chorus:

Now I’m glad that I never met you at all  : ||4x

It's a collection of stories from marriages and friendships that have come to me, but I won't reveal any names. I have a sneaking suspicion I wonder if this is true of all women. In any case, I haven't meet one who has convinced me otherwise. I would be open to it. To accuse me now of machismo would be too simple and inconsiderate. It is a blues and in it the men are wailing.

The music was originally a blues, but it sounded like a song I had already written. So I discarded the draft and started all over again. I wanted something different and came across the beat. Then I just had to add the notes and let it develop. Although I tried to play the song slower in the beginning, I always ended up with the same tempo. That's why the blues is a bit fast. The solo after two verses is based on Eric Clapton's "Presence of the Lord," so that's where the idea came from.
