[Intro 1]
[G][C][Em][Am][G][F]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
She wore [Em]an
S.E.G. when she [G]came back home
Like the [C]cat that ate the ca[Em]nary
And [Am]I stood befuddled,
[G]a chauvanist stud
With his [F]mistress quite con[Em]trary
I was [F]smack up against the mo[G]ment
I was [Am]afraid i would face [Bm]someday
But the [C]truth is a wall [Am]that
you [Em]can't blow down
And [D]it won't be laughed away

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
[D]You see, my [G]old lady went and too[C]k herself
A young [G]man [Bm]last [Em]night
It [G]got me crazy when [C]she said,
"Baby, [Am]don't [G]you get up[Bm]tight,
[Em]I th[D]ink maybe it's the time
for you to [Dm]see the l[C]ight,"
She said, [Am]"It's alright now,
[D]boy, I'm yours tonight."

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][Em]

[Verse 3]
Now I [Em]admit my imagina[G]tion's been
The [C]sweetest [Em]sin ner of all
Yes it [Am]lives like a snake in [G]Eden
And it for[F]gives each time I fall
[Em]So I[F]'ve been Casanov[Dm]a
[G]I've double- dat[Am]ed with Don Jua[Bm]n
And [C]though I've been doing
[Em]almost everything
I never [D]dreamed she'd be carrying on!

[Verse 4]
[D]
You see, [G]my old lady went and [C]took herself
A [Am]young [G]man [Bm]last [Em]night
It [G]got me crazy when [C]she said,
"Baby, [Am]don't [G]you get up[D]tight,
[Em]I th[D]ink maybe it's the time
for you to [Dm]see the l[C]ight,"
She said, [Am]"It's alright now, [D]boy,

[Interlude 2]
I'm yours tonight."
[G][C][Em][Am][G][F][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]She says that she still [G]loves me
She says that [C]last night was no big [Em]deal
She says, [Am]"Why can't a woman
play the [G]same damn game
And [F]act out what she [Em]feels?"
She [F]says she's going to take a [G]bath
I hear her [Am]singing in the tub up[Bm]stairs
While I'm [C]sitting here spitting
[Am]out [Em]chunks of my heart
[D]Forced into being fair,
While she's splash[Am]ing
rround up there,
I'm supposed to [D]act like I don't care,
I hear the [Am]devil laughing somewhere!
[D]

[Verse 6]
You see, [G]my old [Em]lady went and [C]took herself
A [G]young man [D]last [Em]night
It [G]got me crazy when [C]she said,
"Baby, [Am]don't [G]you get uptig[D]ht,
[Em]I th[D]ink maybe it's the time
for you [Dm]to see the [C]light,"
She said, [Am]"It's alright now, boy,
[D]I'm yours tonight."
