Don't Take It That Way
 FYou call her up on the Bbtelephone
 GmYou say, "I miss you when I'm C7all alone"
 FShe says, "I'm sorry but I'm Bbmoving on"
 GmI found somebody else while C7you were gone
               F|N.C.             Bb  
     She says, don't take it that way
     DbDon't take it, C7don't take it that Fway
     Don't take it that Bbway
     DbDon't take it, C7don't take it that BbwayC  
 FSweet freedom of a Bbforeign girl
 GmYou took a trip all C7around the world
 FBroke a promise for a Bbheavenly thrill
 GmYou said I do when you C7meant I will
 FHitched a ride on a Bbprivate plane
 GmYou might have turned the tide back gone C7against the grain
 FStole easy money from your Bbbest friend
 GmKind of knew you'd never C7see him again
 DbAnd then to kill some C7time you went to Bbwar
 Didn't even C7know what you were fighting foDbr
 You were so C7young with prospects so Bbpoor
 Now what you've Gmbecome no one can be C7sure
                         F\ N.C.            Bb  
     You're still saying, don't take it that way
     DbDon't take it, C7don't take it that Fway
     Don't take it that Bbway
     DbDon't take it, C7don't take it that Fway
 How am I supposed to take it
*He does switches between 1st and 7th position on the neck but plays the same chords. He 
also has a cool style of barring all the strings with on finger then hammering on the 
remaining three fingers.
Truly a master musician to be appreciated!
