[Intro]
G
Last morning in the
rain my man
Em
left with a train,
C
leaving me for
G
a day.
G
We said goodbye
with an
Em
awful sigh, but
C7
inside I’m glad
he is
B7
away.
Am
’Cause when I’m
alone
Em
I jump
to the phone,
Am
calling up my girl
Em
friends.
Am
We hang around
in bars,
Em
we drink
and smoke cigars
and
C7
play all sorts
B7 D7
of games.
[Verse 1]
G
Because when my man is
out of town,
E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
A7
He thinks I’m lonely
D7
when he isn’t
G D7
here, yes, my baby
dear.
G
When my man is out
of town,
E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
A7
He thinks I’m lonely
D7 G
when he isn’t here.
B7
Because when he is
not
around, he thinks
Em
I cry my heart out,
C7
that I cry every day
when he’s
B7 D7
away, and I display my
pain.
G
But when my man is
out of
E7
town, I’m never lonely,
A7
I’m never lonely when
D7 G D7
he isn’t here.

[Bridge]
Am
When he is on a trip
I
don’t miss him, not
even
C B7
a tidy tiny bit.
Am
I wouldn’t even care
if he would never
come back home, that
F#7 B7
he decided to be gone.
Am
He is such a joker,
like my
lady who knows just
C7 B7
how to get me high.
Am
They have so much
fun,
much
more than we will
ever
see,
I think
F#
he might not be
the one,
C B E7
one for me.

broken,

that he breaks my
little heart,
C#7 E7
when we’re apart.

[Coda]
G
I never stay in
drinking
Em
clear as a gin,
C
fooling around all
G
night.
G
I do as I please,
’cause I
Em
find that I don’t
C7
even miss to hold him
B7
tight.

’Cause he doesn’t know,
I
Em
spent all his dough,
Am Em
paying every flaw.
Am
We don’t even care, if
Em
it all is out there,
C D
’cause me and my girls
G D# G D G
get wild.
