Lyrics & Chords
You Ain't the First (2:32)
E              A             E                   A
I tried so hard just to get through to you
E                         A
But your head's so far
               E             A
from the realness of truth
E                           A
Was it just a come on in the dark
              E            A
Wasn't meant to last long
E                                              A
I think you've worn your welcome honey
            E          A         A           G6     E
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

E                      A
Time can pass slowly,
E                      A
things always change
E                         A
You day's been numbered
E                               A
And I've read your last page
E                             A
You was just a temporary lover
           E                A
Honey you ain't the first
E                            A
Lots of others came before you woman
               E                A
Said but you been the worst
 A                G6     E
Sa' you been the worst


E                     G#
So goodbye to you girl
 A                  B
So long, farewell
E                         G#
I can't hear you cryin'
A                      B
Your jivin's been hell
  E                    G#
So look for me walkin'
 A                        B
Down your street at night
       E              G#
I'll be in with another
 A                B
Deep down inside
A               G6   E
DEEP DOWN INSIDE
