Intro: ( C  C-G/C- F/C   C  C-G/B- F) x2
F   C/E   Dm   F- G  
She kept the light open, all night long, for me to come home, and sing her my song
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   Em  C-Em-F  
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me, she'd wait by the window, so patiently
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   F- G  
And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down, she'd pin it up, and softly smile
C  C- G/C-F/C- C-G/B- F   C  C-G/ C-F/C- C-G/B-F  
But I was out rolling, with my band, and I was out rolling, with my band
F   C/E   Dm   F- G  
I never realized, she was so undone, I didn't suspect she had no life of her own
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   Em  C-Em-F  
She was so true, but she was a she, she was just there, I would just come
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   F- G(harm)
Stumbling in, she'd show me she'd care, I didn't care, cause she was just there
C  C- G/C-F/C- C-G/B- F   C  C-G/ C-F/C- C-G/B-F  
But I was out rolling, with my band, and I was out rolling, with my band
Solo: ( C  C-G/C- F/C   C  C-G/B- F) x2
F   C/E   Dm   F- G  
I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time, she wouldn't accept that, she was free
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   Em  C-Em-F  
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me, she'd wait by the window so bitterly
F   C/E   Dm   F- G  
Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed, I couldn't see, so what could I say
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   Em  C-Em-F  
What more affection could I show her? I had only one thing, on my mind
C   Em  C-Em- F   C   F- G(harm)
When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair, and out past the fields out the window I'd stare
C  C- G/C-F/C- C-G/B- F   C  C-G/ C-F/C- C-G/B-F  
Where I was out rolling, with my band, I was out rolling, with my band
