The main riff is repeated through the intro and verses with many small variations. I 
wrote the basic one.


VERSE 1:

Dm       A
oh my lover
                     G    Dm
don't you know it's alright
              A
you can love her
                       G     Dm
you can love me at the same time
Dm             A
much to discover
                          G     Dm
I know you don't have the time but
Dm        A
oh my lover
                    G    Dm
don't you know it's alright

VERSE 2: (same chords)

oh my sweet thing
oh my honey thighs
give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
take at your leisure
take whatever you can find but
oh my sweet thing
don't you know it's alright


CHORUS:

Bb7
it's alright
Dm
it's alright
Bb7
there's no time
        A   A7
so it's alright


VERSE 3:

what's that color
forming around your eyes
watch my lover
tell me that it's all right
just another
before you go...go away

Dm     A
oh my lover
                   G   Dm  Bb7
why don't you just say my name


         Dm
and it's alright
         Bb7
say it's alright
           A  A7
there's no time

OUTRO:

Dm Bb7 (repeat several times. end on Bb7)
