------------------------------......................

*Released 1969*


Intro:

E  A  C, Dm  G

Chorus 1:

C                   D     E              Am
 Put yourself in my place, if only for a day.
       Dm                      G7             C    Bb  G
See if you can stand the awful hurt I feel in-side.

C                   D     E              Am
 Put yourself in my place, just a little while.
                 Dm                      G7             C       E  A7
Live through the loneliness, the endless emptiness I go through.

Verse 1:

             F
And when you lose a little sleep at night,
C
 'Cos you ain't been treated right.
                             E   A7
Then you know heartaches are sad.

F                          C
 Sitting by the telephone, being left all alone,
Dm                     C            Bb  G
 Then you know why I'm feeling bad.

Interlude:

C                   D     E  Am, Dm  G7, C, Bb  G
 Put yourself in my place.

Verse 2:

                F
And when you're just about to go insane,
C
 'Cos it hurts to love in vain.
                        E     A7
Ask a guy who's been in love.

F                           C
 I believed your evil line; now I'm left alone and crying.
Dm                  C            Bb  G
 Alone to count the stars above.

Chorus 2:

C                   D     E  Am
 Put yourself in my place,
              Dm                  G7
Why don't you try it, come on and try it...
            C             Bb    G
Come on and try it, baby, baby, try it.

Chorus 3:

C                   D     E  Am
 Put yourself in my place,
            Dm                  G7
Come on and try it, come on and try it...
            C             Bb    G
Come on and try it, baby, baby, try it.

(Repeat to Fade)
