Intro:
E   G#   C#m   F# 
A   B7   E   B7 


 
E         A             B7             E 
I'm not a wise man, but I've learned a lot 
     C#m         F#m            B7 
In a fountain of knowledge, I'm only a drop 
    E      A        B7           E 
But even a fool can give sound advice 
     C#m          F#m              B7 
It's free for the listening 'cause I paid the price 



   E            G#m       E          C#            F#m 
So take it from me, don't leave her alone too many nights 
B7                                       E     B7 
Take it from me, don't be the reason she cries 
   E                G#m        C# 
At first, she'll be lonely and cry for you only 
    F#m                     Am 
And then for the loving she needs 
            E        G#                C#m           F# 
She'll find somebody new who's sure to take her from you 
   A           B7            E   G#m   A   B7   C7 
As sure as you took her from me 


 
    F             Bb       C7         F 
You might say I'm crazy to give you advice 
         Dm      Gm          C7 
But I've already lost her, I can't lose her twice 
     F             Bb           C7            F 
But, Lord, I still love her and she needs someone 
       Dm      Gm           C7 
Who'll do as I tell you and not as I've done 


 
   F            Am        F          D             Gm

C7                                       F     C7 
Take it from me, don't be the reason she cries 
   F                Am         D 
At first, she'll be lonely and cry for you only 
    Gm                      Bbm 
And then for the loving she needs 
            F        A                 Dm            G 
She'll find somebody new who's sure to take her from you 
   Bb          C7            F   Am   Bb   C7 
As sure as you took her from me
