	(N.B: the "organ" - actually Zal's Guild Thunderbird with the
	treble rolled off - plays the following chords during the verses:

		  111	  111	  111     111
		xx765x	xx777x	xx432x	xx645x
		   G       C       E       D

	as denoted by brackets wherever the rhythm guitar stays on G:)

verse 1:

	         G            [C]         [G     C]
	Did you ever have to make up your mind
	    G         [C]                G       E
	To pick up on one and leave the other behind
	      G         D         C
	It's not often easy, and not often kind
	         D                         G
	Did you ever have to make up your mind

verse 2:

	Did you ever have to finally decide
	To say yes to one and let the other one ride
	There's so many changes and tears you must hide
	Did you ever have to finally decide

chorus 1:

	                  E7
	Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
	      A7
	With hair down to here and plenty of money
	     C             A7               G          E7
	And just when you think she's that one in the world
	      D         Dsus4           D           Dsus4
	Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl and...

	[repeat verse 1 ("Then you know you better...")]

	[guitar solo over verse chords]

chorus 2:

	Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
	And then you get distracted by her older sister
	Then in walks her father, and takes you in line
	And says "better go home, son, and make up your mind"

	[repeat verse 3 ("Then you bet you better...")]

coda:   (repeat last bar of intro)
