[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
You [G]left me for another [D]man, baby
Tell me what [G]did he [D]do for you
Yes, you [G]ran away with another [D]man,
[Am]baby[D]
I want to know what did he do for you
[G]Because now all of your
money's gone, [D]baby
[Am]And he ain't got n[D]o more,
no more use for you
When I was your fool, baby
[G]Hey, I worked for [Am]you, both night and day
Yes, I was your fool, baby
Yes, I worked for you,
[D]both night [G]and day
Oh, you know [Am]I had to be a fool, baby
Oh, to let you treat me [D]this way
I got your letter this morn[G]ing, baby
And [D]I read every w[G]ord you had to say
[Am]Yes, you know I go[D]t yo[G]ur l[D]ette[Am]r
[D]early this mor[G]ning, baby
[Am]And I read every word you had to say
[D]Oh, but if you loved to me
like the say you do, baby
[G]Then why in [Am]the world did you go away?
You never said you was doin' alright
But then [D]it read,
"Please let me come [G]back home"
Yes, you never said [D]you
were [G]doin' okay, baby
But [C]then it read,
[D]"Please let me come back home"
[G]So here is my answer to [Am]your letter baby
I've [D]been doing alright since
you've been gone
So you [G]love me [Am]or leave me, baby
Baby, either one you wanna [D]do
Oh, I said, "Love me, love [G]me,
[Am]love me or leave me
[D]Baby, either one you wanna do"
Because you see [G]strange things happen[D]ing,
baby
And something good [G]happened[D][Am]
[C][D][G]
[Am][D][G][Am]
to you
[D]If you know you [G]don't [Am]want[D] me
Baby, why won't you let [G]me be?
Oh, if you know, if you know,
if you [D]know you [G]don't want me
Baby, why won't you let me be?
Because [C]you, [Am]it's bett[D]er
to live without you, [G]baby
Than to live on in misery
[Am]Oh, [D]midnight find me cryin'[G]
Daylight [Am]catch me cryin' too
Yes, I said, "Midnight, midnight,
[D]midnight find cryin'
Daylight catch me cryin' too"
You better straighten [G]you mind,
[Am]pretty baby
'Cause something could
happened to you
Nobody loves me [D]but my mother
And she could be [G]jivin' too
Yes, nobody,
[D]nob[G]ody loves [D]me but my mother[G]
And she could [D]be jivin' too
Now you [G]know why I act so
[D]funny with you, baby
When you [G]do the things you do
