you [C#m] Really [E] wanna see you love, [C#] but it takes so
long [F#m] My [C#] love
Oh my darling, knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
[G#] Why long a bye [D#] if the answer [C#] is no
My sweet [F#] love means [G#] you'll meet me in [C#m] the hallway
One [F#m] bad apple don't spoil the whole [D] bunch girl
[E] You'll be fine for a while [A] before you give up all love
[F#] One bad apple don't spoil the whole [D] bunch girl
I [E] don't care what they say, I don't [A] care what they do
For me and my [G] brother McGee
[A]
From the Kentucky coal mines to the [Dm] California
[C] Boy it was just my imagination
[Dm]
[F] Running away [G] with me
[D] [E] [A]
[E] Oh [A] boy and girl, [E] [A]
[E] I [A] feel you with me
[D] Oh [A] boy [D] and girl, talk to the picture man [A#] in the blue jeans
In [F] the house wondering where it's gonna [D] stop
[C]
Half boy knows that he's doing alright
[A#]
Future to her [C] just around [G] midnight
Mmm, the sugar [C]
on your teeth So good
[G]
Mmm, the sugar
He [F#m]
stays upset [C#] even with the boy
But lipstick on his [D#] perfume on his
Tells me he's the life
This girl's in misery
Gonna put it in the warning
[A#] [F] Somebody rescue me
And it's [A#] too late now, it's too late
Though [A#] we really did try to [F] make it
Something inside has [F] died
I can't [Dm] hide and I just [C] can't fake it
[G] [C] [C#m]
[F#m] Cherokee [C#m] people
Cherokee tribe
[F#m] So proud to live
[G#m] So proud [G#] to die
[B] You just [A] call out my name
And you know [D] wherever [Bm] I am
I'll come [A] running to see [E] you again
[B] [E] How can you mend this broken man?
[F#m] How can a loser ever win?
[F#m]
[A] Please help [B] me mend [A] my [D] broken heart
We're so sorry if we caused you any [D] pain
We're so [C] sorry [D] Uncle Albert
But [Gm] there's no one left at home
[C#] And I [D] believe I'm [Bm] going [F#] to die
Go away this girl
[C#] It's hurting me more each minute that we [F#] delay
[B]
[D] But [G] I feel I'm [A] being used
[Em] Poor Maggie, I couldn't [F#m] have tried [Em] anymore
You led me away [A] from home
[Em] Just to save you from being [A] alone
[Em] You stole my heart, [A] but I loved you [D] anyway
[B]
Tears, tears, cries and tears
But even from the people of the town they call
Tears, tears, cries and [G#m] tears
But every [F#] night all the [E] men would come around
And lay their money down
[G#]
[F#]
Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the [Fm] chicks? Shut!
Damn [F#] right
[Fm]
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
Shut!
Can you dig it?
[C] Mom loves [Gm] the both of them
[C] You see it's in the blood
[Gm] Both [C] kids are good and [Gm] bound
[C] Blood's thicker than mud
It's a [G] family affair
[F] I'm okay alone but you've [G] got soul
