 Verse One 
 =========== 
 B               D                         B                    D 
 How can you say that you need me when you never look me in the face 
  
 B               D                     B                              D 
 How can you say that you love me when you've been messing around all over the place 
  
 B               D                   B                    D 
 I went downtown yesterday and I was walking in the marketplace 
  
 B         D                   B                D 
 Everybody laughed at me, they whispered that i was a disgrace 
  
 (B5   E5)X4 
  
 Verse 2 
 You've been out all night drinking again, you never even bother to call 
 Been crossing blades with god knows who, you're headed for your rise and fall 
 Sooner or later I'll wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes 
 Later that day when you wake up you'll be in for a big surprise 
  
 Chorus 
 =========== 
 F#5             Db5

 E5              B5 
 Black White and White go Black 
  
 E5              B5       E5 
 Black White and White go Black 
  
 F#5             Db5           F#5             Db5      F#5

 Verse Three 
 You talk about yourself all night when really you are such a bore 
 You give me flowers to my face, behind my back you call me a whore 
 I've had enough of your god knows what, I think it's time for you to leave 
 I've forgiven you too many times before, this time you get no reprive 
  
 Verse Four 
 The bed's too big without you but I suppose it'll have to do 
 Better to lay in an empty bed than to spend another night beside you 
 People talking all over town about the way you've been putting me down 
 People talking all over town, they don't want to see you around

 That's my interpretation...at least as close as I could write on 
 paper.  I tried to get as close note per note on the solo as I 
 could but since I have the feeling that Mr. Hammon doesn't play these 
 exact notes every time, improvisation on the B pentatonic is 
 probably fine. 
 Feel free to e-mail me for comment, corrections, etc.
