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

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


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

     E             F#m ---(RIFF)         RIFF
    I`ll be what I am               E -------------|
    E          F#m -------(RIFF)    B --------2----|
    A solitary man                  G ------2---4--|
   E         F#m                    D --4-4--------|
    Solitary man                    A -------------|
                                    E -------------|

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

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


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

     E             F#m ---(RIFF)         RIFF
    I`ll be what I am               E -------------|
    E          F#m -------(RIFF)    B --------2----|
    A solitary man                  G ------2---4--|
    E          F#m                  D --4-4--------|
    A solitary man                  A -------------|
                                    E -------------|


   INSTRUMENTAL: IMPROVISE OVER THE F#m CHORD


  CHORUS III:
  A                    D          A            E
    Don`t know that I will but until love can find me
                           D              A            E
    And the girl who will stay and won`t play games behind me

     E             F#m ---(RIFF)         RIFF
    I`ll be what I am               E -------------|
    E          F#m -------(RIFF)    B --------2----|
    A solitary man                  G ------2---4--|
    E          F#m -------(RIFF)    D --4-4--------|
    A Solitary man                  A -------------|
                                    E -------------|
    E          F#m --- END DEAD ON THIS CHORD STRUMMED SLOWLY.
      Solitary man
