B7                B
Believe me when I tell you
       A           E
I will try to understand
B7                B
Believe me when I tell you
        B7           A
I could never kill a man

       A                       E           E7
But to know that another man's holding you tight
B7              B
Hurts me little darling
         A                E
Thru the morning thru the night

    B7            B
The bond has been broken
    A           E
The promise you gave
    B7              B
The words that were spoken
      B7          A
I can not be your slave

       A                           E        E7
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
B7              B
Hurts me little darling
         A                   E
Thru the night time thru the dawn
 
  B7                               B           E
I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
     B7           B
Your sweet loving tenderness
A         E
Easing my pride

    A                     E             E7
But then I awoke dear and found you not there
       B7          B         A          E
It was just my old memory of how much I care

B7                B
Believe me when I tell you
       A           E
I will try to understand
B7                B
Believe me when I tell you
        B7           A
I could never kill a man

       A                       E           E7
But to know that another man's holding you tight
B7              B
Hurts me little darling
         A                E
Thru the morning thru the night

        B7              B
Yes, it hurts me little darling
         A                E      B7 B A  E
Thru the morning thru the night
