- 3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.

The (Eb)Lord knows, I done (Bbm7)heard those back yard (Eb)whis pers go in’ (Bb7#5)’round
the neigh bor hood.
There (Abmaj7)may

a (Eb)lot of things I (Gbdim7)don’t know, but I (F)do know (G)this:
(Fm7)now I ain’t got (Eb6)no love, and (Abmaj7)once up on a (Adim7)time, I (Bb13)had a (Eb)true love.
In the (Eb)eve
nin’ by the (Bb13)door
(Bb7#5)way, while I (G)stand there and wait for his (C7)com in’,
with the (Abmaj7)house
swept and the (Abm(maj7))clothes

where is (Fm7)he while I (F9)watch the ris in’ (Bb)moon?
(Bb7)With that (Cm)gal in that (B)damn (F9)old sa (Bb13)loon!

And ev ’ry (D)bod y keeps tell in’ (Bbm)me.

a (Eb)lot of things I (Gbdim7)don’t know, but I (F)do know (G)this:
now I ain’t got no love,
and (Eb)once up on a time, I (Bb13)had a (Eb)true love.
