Verse 1:

        Dm                 G     Bb                  Dm
        Sick at heart and lonely    deep in dark despair
        Dm                    G   Bb                        Dm
        Thinking one thought only    where is she, tell me where
        Dm              G      Bb                Dm
        And if she says to you    she don't love me
        Dm                G      Bb                 Dm  [N.C.]
        Just give her my message    tell her of my plea

Chorus:

               D            F      G     D
        And I know, if she had me back again
                    Bb     F        D
        Oh, I would never make her sad
                 A        G                Dm
        I got a hea-a-a...a-a-art full of soul

Verse 2:

        She's been gone such a long time
        Longer than I can bear
        But if she says she wants me
        Tell her that I'll be there
        And if she says to you
        She don't love me
        Just give her my message
        Tell her of my plea

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro riff 3X (bongos enter 2nd time); end cold on Dm]

        chorus: E G A E
                  C G E
                B A Em
