(Verse 1)
C     F
Oh, I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
                               C
and deep in my heart there's a hurt.
C                          Am7    F           D
Lost the phone and address of the girl I love best,
         G          C          F
wrote it all on the cuff of my shirt.



(Verse 2)
C       F
Now, we met just by chance at the Saturday dance
                              C
and she promised to date me tonight..(tonight.)
        Gm          C             F          D
But her address and stuff I wrote down on my cuff
         G               C          F
and that shirt of mine's nowhere in sight.



(Chorus)
F       Bb                   F
Aw, her hair was red and her eyes were blue and I
G        C           F
dream of holding her tight..(hold me tight.)
        Bb                             C           D
But the moon's on the rise and there's tears in my eyes
         G                    C
cause my arms will be empty tonight.



(Verse 3)
        F
While I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry,
                                 C
the girls think I'm down here to flirt.
                              F            D
I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap wash her
G            C          F
name off the cuff of my shirt.

off the cuff of my shirt..my Shirt.
