Chi-town does Motown in this curious battle between Chicago horns and
Detroit strings. I guess the arranger (probably Johnny Pate) couldn't
decide between Chicago backbeats (one-and-TWO-and-three-AND-four-AND)
vs. Motown backbeats (one-TWO-three-FOUR), so he left them out... play
along with the record and let me know which you prefer. -- AWR
"You've Been Cheatin'"
(Curtis Mayfield)
Intro [4X]:

[piano and tambourine enter 2nd time;

Verse 1:
[1: I've been 2: So I'm] trying hard to forget
That you've been cheating
Wishin' you I'd never met
'Cause you've been cheating
Chorus:
Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
(Db)
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me
repeat intro riff 2X, w/strings
Verse 2:
Yeah, you made me suspect and I know (who-who)
You don't want me (you don't want me)
Cookies crumble, and that's how it goes (who-who)
You don't want me (you don't want me)
repeat intro riff 2X, w/strings
Bridge:
Another lover you discover
Our love's gone and I don't know why
It's just as well, though at last I do know
All you said was just a lie
[repeat intro riff 2X, w/strings (horns enter 2nd time)]
repeat chorus
Coda (riff and chords as per intro):
Ooh, ooh, baby (you've been cheating)
You must not love me (you've been cheating)
You must not want me (you've been cheating)
You just don't care [fade]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
