F G C
There's a story I heard told
F G C Am
Comes from the banks where the odd sailboat goes
F G C F
Now I don't know if its true but I say so
C G F C
Surely in it you will recognize somebody that you know
F G C
There was a gal in New Orleans
F G C Am
She could be sweet but my friend she could be mean
F G C F
Really with her there was very little in between
C G F C
She kissed gentlemen's lips beneath the sweet olive trees
G F
They never knew their woman
C
She never knew her man
F C
I wanna know my woman
F C
Want her to know her man
F C
Well if you know you too many people

Your hearts bound to go bad

F G C
One dude she knew got sick with hurt
F G C Am
He overheard his baby's filth and dirt
F G C F
So he hid a .22 beneath his shirt
C G F C
Then went to pay a her a visit at the place in which she worked
F G C
Well if you find someone you love a lot
F G C Am
I'd recommend you give it everything you got
F G C F
Either way you'll be sittin' pissin' in a pot
C G F C
But at least it will be with someone you love and you trust
G F
Nobody knows their woman
C
Nobody knows their man
F C
I'd die to know my woman
F C
Kill for her to know her man
F C Am
Just want to take it beyond the initial shaking
G
Of my own sweaty nervous hand
Or else I might be bad
F G C
F G C Am
F G C
