 VERSE:
  F# minorF#m     B minorBm      A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
  Belinda was mine `til the time that I found her
 A augmentedA     B minorBm
  Holdin` Jim
 A augmentedA      B minorBm
  And loving him

 F# minorF#m       B minorBm        A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
  Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that`s what I thought
 A augmentedA    B minorBm
  Me and Sue,
 A augmentedA        B minorBm
  But that died too.


 CHORUS I:
 A augmentedA          D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
  Don`t know that I will but until I can find me
           D MajorD       A augmentedA      E MajorE
  A augmentedA girl who will stay and won`t play games behind me

 VERSE:
  I`ve had it to here being where love`s a small word
  A augmentedA part time thing
  A augmentedA paper ring

  I know it`s been done havin` one girl who loves me
  Right or wrong
  Weak or strong

 CHORUS II:
