Biography:
Jimmy Soul (August 24, 1942 - June 25, 1988), born James McCleese in Weldon, North Carolina, was a vocalist.
He performed gospel as a teenager, later scouted by Frank Guida and recruited to sing songs handpicked for one of Guida's other hit artists, Gary U.S. Bonds. Soul only ever had two chart hits, both which were Bond's cast-offs, "Twistin' Matilda", in 1962, and the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "If You Wanna Be Happy" (based on the calypso, "Ugly Woman", by Roaring Lion) in 1963.

I saw that all of the tabs for this song were in the wrong key so i fixed it up for you guys.
The sax solo is just the verse chords and the "Hey man, Hey baby, I saw your wife..."
is just the chorus.
Chorus:
Eb F
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
D G
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Eb F
So from my personal point of view
F A#
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Verse:
A# A#
A pretty woman makes a man look small
F A#
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her
Then she starts doin' the things that will break his heart
