Capo on 2nd fret
Gwell I can't tell you why I left yGou
and I don't quite know why I'm hAere
but nothing has moved my spDirit
since I saw you late last yGear
Gevery lover knows a reaGson
and every woman has felt the sAame
although our minds record each hearDtache
a little lovin' can take away the pGain
(chorus)
Ghold me, hold me, hold me clGose
caress my shoulders and my tAoes
make me forget what I Dcan't
be my lover and my Gman
Ga man he gives you all you Gneed
(ooo)A  
some money to spend and a kiss when you please
(ooo)D  
when you're broke down on the road
(ooo)G  
he'll come on by and lighten your load
Gwell I guess I owe you something tGoo
well it seems you've finally come on thrAough
and my southern manners do oblDige
won't you come on over for a slice of pGie?
(chorus)
Ghold me, hold me, hold me clGose
caress my shoulders and my tAoes
make forget what I caDn't
be my lover and my Gman

Capo on 2nd fret

G G

well I can't tell you why I left you

and I don't quite know why I'm here

but nothing has moved my spirit

since I saw you late last year

G G

every lover knows a reason

and every woman has felt the same

although our minds record each heartache

a little lovin' can take away the pain

(chorus)

G G

hold me, hold me, hold me close

caress my shoulders and my toes

make me forget what I can't

be my lover and my man

G G

a man he gives you all you need

(ooo)

some money to spend and a kiss when you please

(ooo)

when you're broke down on the road

(ooo)

he'll come on by and lighten your load

G G

well I guess I owe you something too

well it seems you've finally come on through

and my southern manners do oblige

won't you come on over for a slice of pie?

(chorus)

G G

hold me, hold me, hold me close

caress my shoulders and my toes

make forget what I can't

be my lover and my man
