(INTRO) E5 
(VERSE 1) 
   A5 
A successful operation 
                               E5 
Cut my conscience loose for a while 
        A5 
Was no tickly situation 
                       E5 
The girl just made me smile 
     B5                     A5 
She said she didn't love me 
                 E5 
I said i didn't care 
                            A5       B5         E5 
Then i became entangled in Della's long brown hair 
 
(VERSE 2) 
     A5 
She said she didn't hate me 
                              E5 
She didn't play no one night stands 
    A5 
But i would not be denied 
                            E5 
And she soon gave in to my demands 
       B5                 A5 
Cause lovin' makes lovin' 
                         E5 
And she soon learned to care 
                               A5       B5         E5 
And she let it down around me Della's long brown hair 
 
(BREAK) 
B5 , A5 , E5 , A5 , B5 , E5 
(VERSE 3) 
          A5 
Well the time before the last time 
                          E5 
Is the sweetest time you know 
       A5 
And i stayed until it was past time 
                                     E5 
And i knew i had to say goodbye and go 
       B5                          A5 
And i kissed her for the last time 
                             E5 
As she was leaning down the stairs 
                              A5       B5         E5 
And i felt it fall around me Della's long brown hair 
                                    A5       B5         E5    A5 , E5 
And i still feel it fall around me Della's long brown hair
