F F Ab Bb Ab F

All you fellows, gather 'round me

F F Ab Bb Ab F

And let me give you some good advice

F F Ab Bb Ab F

What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

Dm Am

While you're lying, cheating on your woman

Gm Bb C

There is something you never ever thought of, now tell me

Chorus:

Verse 2:

I've seen so, so many fellows

Fall in that same old bag

Thinking that a woman is made to

To be beat on and treated so bad

Oh, fellows, let me ask you something

I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, now tell me

repeat chorus

Bridge:

F Ab/F

I know there are some women guilty of this too

Oh, you oh! oh, you, you you

Verse 3:

The reason why I ask this question

I used to be the same old way

When I decided to straighten up

I found it was a bit too late

Oh, yeah, that's when it all happened

Something I never, never dreamed of

Chorus 3:

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady

While I was out making love

Coda [repeat to fade]:

F F Ab Bb Ab F [continue]

Now who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love

(Who? Who? Your old lady)

(While you were out making love)
