         G
Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib
         C
How the Lord made a woman for companionship
         G                              D                       G
And the first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit
 G
Well 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
Now this is wrong and baby that ain't right
         G
And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night
       C                                                    D7
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
 G
Somethings gotta change honey I'm gonna leave
   C
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me
    G      D7                  G
Oh Lord I think I want my rib back

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride
Her daddy calls her angel
And her mom-ma calls her three times a night
Her cousins on my sofa, her sister's got my car
Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar
Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back

Chorus

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
