[Verse 1]
C                F
Somebody have mercy
                    C
And tell me what is wrong with me
F
Somebody have mercy
                 C
And tell me what is wrong with me
            G
Sometimes I don't know how I stand
F                     C
The things this woman do to me
C
Let me tell you
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                             F
When I think about how she do me
               C
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
       F
When I think about how she do me
               C
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
     G                            F
When I think I've got her chained down
                  C
She starts acting up again
C
But oh, let me tell you
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
I'm going down to the bus station
F               C
With a suitcase in my hand, yes, I am
    F
I'm going down to the bus station
                C
With a suitcase in my hand, yes, I am
          G
I'm gonna grab me an armful of Greyhound
F                C
And ride just as far as I can
C
And blow that thing for me now

Mmmhmm, hmm
      G                 F                C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yay, yeah

Let me tell you one more time

F                      C
I wonder what is wrong with me, Lord have mercy

I'm standing here wondering, baby
      F              C
Will a matchbox hold my clothes? Yes, I am

Standing, wondering, baby
                C
Will a matchbox hold my clothes? Yes, I am
           G
Oh I got a long way to get there
F                      C
And I got a short time to go

Oh, oh, oh, hmm, hmm
