_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Well, don't [Eb] quit now, man.
[Db] _ Oh, [Ab] baby, I was just warming [D] up for you.
[G] Well, I've been warming up for this spot ever since I started [Abm] singing.
All right, let's get it on before it passes [Db] by.
All right.
_ _ [Abm] _ _
[Db] Yeah.
_ _ _ [Abm] _ [Db] Hey, look here, Tom.
I [Abm] got something I want [Db] to talk to you about.
All right.
Listen to me, [Abm] please.
[Db] You know I've been changing, _ [Abm] _ but I'm [Db] tired.
[Abm] _
_ [Db] I've lost _ [Abm] everything, _ [Db] including my [Abm] pride.
_ [Db] I thought that a woman _ [Abm] _ could be [Db] _
satisfied [Abm] _ _ [Db] with security _ and a good man by her [Abm] side. _
[Db] I gave her all this, [Abm] _ _ [Db]
still I got hurt.
[Abm] _ _ Oh, the [Gb]
fool that they call [Db] her. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Now, wait a minute.
_ I want to tell you [Am] about my little [D] woman.
_ _ [Am] Yeah.
_ [D] _ Oh, _ _ _ when I first met the girl, she was real sweet. _
We were doing all right till she got on her feet.
_ That's when she left me, when there went my pride.
_ _ It wasn't funny, _ _ but I laughed till I cried.
_ Well, the girl had me.
_ Yes, she did.
_ [Am] _ Because [G] I was fooling with a [D] freak called _ love.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Understanding is [Ab] a sad thing in the world.
Yes, it is.
[Eb] Yes, it is.
Each _ week, _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ it's [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
always _ better [Bb] if you really _ _ understand [Ebm] it.
Boy, [Eb] _
_ I'm in love with you.
Look here, Tom.
[Ab] Yeah.
_ _ You know, understanding [Eb] is a mighty powerful thing.
You can say that again.
[Bb] That's why it makes me so sad when [Eb] I see my friends
[Ab] _ running around through the world,
[Gm] _
_ never knowing the meaning of the word _ [Ab]
understanding.
_ So, the next few minutes, we're going to [Bb] try to explain to them
just exactly what it means.
Now, you take it from here.
[Eb] Okay.
_ Now, wait a minute.
Listen, for [Ab] instance, now, you take me and my old lady.
Uh-huh. _
[Eb] Well, we got a good thing going. _ _
[Bb] Because I know if I don't work and pay the rent [Gb] and the bills
[Ab] and buy her fine, pretty clothes to [Gm] wear,
I'm going to be a bad man.
_ Well, there are about 15 other guys just waiting around the corner.
_ And I don't care how [Bb] much that woman loves me,
she's going to find somebody [Eb]
that will.
_ _ _ Understanding [Ab] is the best thing in the world.
Yes, it [Eb]
is.
_ Each week, _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ boy and girl, [Gm] what about a woman or man?
[Ab] _
It's always better when [Bb] you really _ _ understand.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ Understanding is [Ab] the best thing in the world.
Sing along, [Eb]
sing along.
Each _ week, _ [Bb]
boy and girl, tell me about [Eb] it now.
_ [Ab] _
_ Boy and girl, [Gm] and what about a woman and a _ [Ab] man? _
It's always better when [Bb] you really [Eb] understand. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, _ it's _ [Ab] _
_ crying time again. _ _
_ You're [Eb] going to need me. _
_ _ _ _ I [Bbm] can see that [Eb] far away in _ [Ab] your eyes. _ _ _ _
_ _ I can tell _ by the way you [Db] hold me down. _ _ _ _
That [Ab] it _ won't be the [Eb] longest _ part of _ [Ab] my _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] time.
_ _ _ Now they say that absence makes the [Eb] heart grow fonder. _ _
_ _ _ And that _ _ tears are only made _ [Ab] to make love grow. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] My _ _ _ love for you could [Db] never grow _ _ _ stronger.
_ _ [Ab]
If I lived _ [Eb] to be a hundred _ [Ab] _ years [Db] old [Ab]
today.
_ _ Oh, it's crying time again. _ _
[Eb] You're going to need me. _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] I can see that [Eb] far away _ [Ab] in your _ eyes. _ _ _ _ _
I can tell _ by the way you _ [Db] hold me down.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] That it won't be the [Eb] longest part _ [Ab] of my _ _ [Db] time. _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] Every time I think about [Fm] you, _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [C] girl, oh.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [Fm] _ [C] Hollywood, star [Fm] of fame.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ Yes, [Gb] that's you, [Gm] girl.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Ab] _
_ Great [Abm] success was yours and mine.
[Eb] _ You didn't want [Gm] an average [C] man, [Fm] so.
Every [C] time I think about [Fm] the bright lights, [Bb] I think [Eb] about you, girl.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ [F] Mini skirts, frilly curls, [Bb] pretty face.
[Gm] _ Yes, [Bb] that's you, [Gm] girl.
_ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _
[C] Night time [F] gays, Hollywood, [Bb] sir.
[Gm] Ah, [Gb] _ _ that's you, girl.
[C] Wait a minute here.
[F] _ If you hit [Db] you'll be number [Ab] one.
_ [Eb] _ If you [Gm] miss, right back [C] home, you [Fm] punk, so.
Every [C] time I think about the [Fm] bright lights, [Bb] I think [Eb] about you, girl.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Ab] _ _
Don't depend on [Abm] the wind, _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ my little [Gm] girl, it won't [C] get you far.
[Fm] No.
Every [C] time I think [Ab] about the bright lights, [Bb] I think [Eb] about you, [G]
girl.
