Mrs. Wonderful

Mississippi Delta Blues – Key of E – Slow and smoky groove

[Verse 1]

E7
She walks like summer, but her eyes bring the rain
A7
Sweet on the surface, but she’s known for her pain
E7
They call her Mrs. Wonderful, Lord, but I’ve seen her game
B7 A7 E7
She’ll smile while she’s leavin’, never takin’ the blame

[Verse 2]

E7
Got a red dress hangin’ where the black hearts go
A7
Tells you she loves ya, then she steals your soul
E7
She once kissed an angel, made him cry for days
B7 A7 E7
Now he sings about her sorrow in a smoky haze

[Chorus]

A7 E7
Oh, Mrs. Wonderful, you're trouble in pearls
B7 A7
Queen of the heartbreak, breaker of worlds
E7
You dance through the fire, never gettin' burned
B7 A7 E7
Mrs. Wonderful, some folks never learn

[Verse 3]

E7
She'll sit at the bar with a look so sweet
A7
But don’t play no cards — she’ll knock you off your feet
E7
Got the preacher stumblin', the sheriff in debt
B7 A7 E7
Every man that loved her, still can't forget

[Bridge]

A7
She ain't cruel, just born that way
E7
Midnight moon, turnin’ night to day
A7
Some call it magic, some call it sin
B7
But once you let her in… she’ll win

[Final Chorus]

A7 E7
Oh, Mrs. Wonderful, your name rings blue
B7 A7
You got a heart full of rhythm, and a heel made for two
E7
But I ain’t cryin’, I’m just singin’ your song
B7 A7 E7
'Cause lovin' Mrs. Wonderful don’t ever last long

[Outro – Slow Breakdown]

E7
So here’s to the lady with the dangerous smile
A7
She’ll walk with your soul for a little while
E7
Mrs. Wonderful — ain’t nothin’ quite the same
B7 A7 E7
Once you whisper, once you breathe… her name
