[E] I get to blue around about midnight, [B] early with the [E] rising sun.
Get to thinkin' about my little angel
[A] and all [G] the good the poor [E] girl [B] done.
You [G#m] know my heart beat like [E] a hammer and my eyes [A] get [B] overloaded with tears.
Only been [G#m]
gone [C#] 24 [E] hours, [A] although it [G] seemed like a [E] thousand years.
[A] Shoulda loved her more, [E] but I realized I didn't treat her right.
[F#m] [E]
[B] You know I shoulda loved her more, but I realized I [E] didn't treat her [A] right.
[E] You [B] take a woman like that, she need lovin' every [E] day and night, yeah.
[A]
[B]
So now the [G#] blues [E] burned out on me, wrote them all on myself.
When I shoulda been lovin' my baby, [B] I was out lovin' [E] somebody else.
So rip some mighty hard pills to swallow, [B] want all you [E] boys to know.
Why we better mind what [A] we are [E]
sowin', [A] all we got [G] to reap [E] what we sow.
[A] Don't love a doggy woman when you know you're [E] doin' wrong yourself.
[F#m] [B]
[E] [A] Don't love a doggy woman when you know you're doin' wrong yourself.
[B]
[E] [B] She'll get hell on her mind [G#] and go wild about [E] somebody else.

[E]
River [B] runs into the ocean, [E]
ocean runs into the sea.
[G#m] If I don't find that [E] little angel of mine, [B] somebody got to bury me.
Cause I swear I did love her better than I [E] did myself.
[F#m]
[E] [A] You know I loved my woman better than I [E] did myself.
[B]
Now it's breakin' my heart to know she got [E]
somebody else.
Play it low a long time.
