I DON'T WANNA PLAY HOUSE
Recorded by Tammy Wynette
Written by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton

To-[G]day I sat a-[D7]lone at the [G]window
And I watched our little girl outside at [D7]play
With the [C]little boy next door like so [G]many times before
But [A7]something didn't seem quite right to-[D7]day;

So I went [G]outside to [D7]see what they were [G]doing
And then the teardrops made my [B7]eyes grow [Em]dim [G7]
'Cause I [C]heard him name a game and I [G]hung my head in shame
When I heard our little [D7]girl say to [G]him.

[P] I Don't Wanna Play [C]House; I know it can't be [G]fun
I've watched [D7]mommy and [C]daddy
And if [G]that's the [D7]way it's done[G7]
I Don't Wanna Play [C]House; It makes my mommy[G]cry
'Cause when [D]she played house
My [C]daddy [D7]said good-[G]bye.

CHANGE TO A:

[P] I Don't Wanna Play [D]House; I know it can't be [A]fun
I've watched [E]mommy and [D]daddy
And if [A]that's the [E7]way it's done[A7]
I Don't Wanna Play [D]House; It makes my mommy[A]cry
'Cause when [E]she played house
My [D]daddy [E7]said good-[A]bye.
