Dickey Lee 1962 *

D Bm

 D                      Bm
(Hey, hey, hey, hey-ay, hey, hey, hey, hey-ay)

D
Nights didn't seem so long no more,
Bm
ain't one man like it was before
G
Just when I thought I was really okay,
A
I saw Linda yesterday.

              D
My heart went up, down,
                Bm
like a merry-go-round and 'round,
                    G
like a forest fire, down, down,
            A
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

D
Looked like I'd found peace of mind,
Bm
looked like I was gonna make it this time
G
Just when I thought I was really okay,
A
I saw Linda yesterday.

    D
Oh, she smiled that same old smile,
Bm
my heart was running wild
G
My love for her increases,
A
as I go all to pieces

D
Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,
Bm
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,
G
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,
A
dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum...

    D
So, straight to a lonely guy,
Bm
sit around and watch me cry.
G
People ask what's wrong, I say,
 A
"I saw Linda yesterday."

              D
My heart went up, down,
                Bm
like a merry-go-round and 'round,
                    G
like a forest fire, down, down,
            A
Oh, oh, oh, dum-didly, dum-didly,

dum-dum-dum dum.

D
Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,
Bm
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,
G
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,

dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum...

Bm
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie . . .
