Here is a song I have been looking for, so I bought the CD and   
      transcribed it myself. I hope everyone enjoys   Dean Comer

songwriters Walt Aldridge/Tommy Brasfield 
 

G                      C                G  D  C 
It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do 
        G    D        G 
leavin' here without you 
G                      C            G  D  C 
and the second hardest thing I'll ever do 
          G   D       G 
is tellin her about you 
Am 
she's been good to me 
G 
when things were goin' rough 
Am                   D 
how can I tell her now, good ain't good enough 
    G                      C            G  D  C 
oh, the hardest thing I've ever had to do  
           G        D        G 
is holding her, and loving you 
 

G                          C            G  D  C 
if she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone 
          G      D        G              
she ain't done, one thing wrong 
G                          C            G  D  C 
so don't expet me to just walk out of the door 
             G    D                G 
I still love her, but I love you more 
Am 
she's been good to me 
G 
when things weren't goin' right 
Am                    D             
she made my days long before you made my nights 
G                          C            G  D  C 
so, the hardest thing I've ever had to do  
           G        D       G 
is holding her, and loving you 
 

G  C  G  D  G  C   
 
G                            C            G  D  C 
yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
          G        D      G 
is holing her, and loving you 
G                            C            G  D  C 
girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
           G        D      G 
is holding her, and loving you
