[Verse 1]
One...two...three...four [G]The last
time I [D]saw [A]her she
was [D]waving me goodbye
[G]She swore no oth[D]er boy
[A]would take my pla[D]ce
I took [G]a Mississip[D] pi Qu[A]een through
New [D]Orleans and down the Bay[G]ou
I hoped to find my destiny,
my fortune an[D]d m[A]y f[D]ace
Please tell her that [G]I s[D]aid hello
[A]Expla[D]in to her I did[G]n't wan[D]t to [A]go
But a [D]message from her [E]daddy said
He's [G]gonna [D]see me [A]dead
And if [D]I can get out now,
[A]she'll never [D]kno[G]w[D][A]
She'll never know, [D]never [G]kno[D]w[A][D]
I [G]stayed around,
I [D]played [A]around with all tho[D]se Southern bel[G]les
But they took away [D]my
[A]money and my [D]pride
I [G]had no [D]place to [A]go--and the the
[D]rest you know darn [G]well
Living out the guttar ain't
so easy [D]to de[A]scribe
But I [G]still had [D]my gui[A]tar,
so I [D]joined a dirty [G]band
Working [D]in a [A]smoky [D]downtown bar
When [G]comes along [D]this big [A]wheel
with a con[D]tract in his [G]hand
Said, 'put your mark along here boy
I'm gonna make you a Rock
[D]'n' Roll [A]sta[D]r'
Please tell her that [G]I s[D]aid hell[A]o
Ex[D]plain to her I [G]didn't [D]want to [A]go
But a [D]message from [E]her daddy said
He's [G]gonna [D]see me [A]dead
And [D]if I can get out now,
[A]she'll nev[G]er kno[D]w
[G]Never know, [D]never [A]know[D]
[G][D][A][D][G][A][D]
[G][D][A][D]
Well [G]the years have come [D]and [A]gone
And I [D]was passing through to [G]find
That my home town [D]was [A]still
the same to [D]see
Well, [G]the memory [D]I h[A]ad of her had
[D]crumbled from my [G]mind
I really didn't think she'd still
be waiting here [A]for [D]me
Please tell her that [G]I said h[A]ello
Ex[D]plain to her I [G]didn't [D]want to [A]go
But a mes[D]sage from her [E]daddy said
He's [G]gonna [D]see [A]me dead
And if [D]I can get out now,
[A]she'll nev[G]er kno[D]w[G]
She'll never know,
[A]never kno[D]w[G][D][A][D][G]
[A][D][E][G][A]
If [D]I can get out now,
she'll [G]nev[D]er [G]know
Nev[D]er [A]know, never [D]know
Never [G]know, never [A]know

[Outro 1]
Never know
