Verse 1:
Em (022000@1)          Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1) Melinda was mine 'til the time
         Em (022000@1)       F#m (244222@1) that I found her
G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1) F#m (244222@1) holdin' Jim
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1) and lovin' him.
Em (022000@1)             Am (x02210@1) Then Sue came along,
           G (320003@1) loved me strong,
             Em (022000@1)        F#m (244222@1) that's what I thought,
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)  F#m (244222@1) but me and Sue,
G (320003@1)        Am (x02210@1) that died, too.

Chorus:
G (320003@1)                 C (x32010@1) Don't know that I will
        G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1) but until I can find me,
                C (x32010@1) a girl who'll stay and
        G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1) won't play games behind me.
                 (do main riff 'til verse 2 starts)
  I'll be what I am,
  a solitary man,
  a solitary man,
  a solitary man.

Verse 2:
Em (022000@1)             Am (x02210@1)       G (320003@1)            Em (022000@1)        F#m (244222@1) I've had it to here being where love's a small world,
G (320003@1)           Am (x02210@1)   F#m (244222@1) a part time thing,
G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1) a paper ring.
Em (022000@1)               Am (x02210@1) I know it's been done
         G (320003@1)          Em (022000@1)       F#m (244222@1) havin' one girl who loves you,
G (320003@1)        Am (x02210@1)  F#m (244222@1) right or wrong,
G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1) weak or strong.
