                             WHAT AM I GONNA DO - The Dovers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gabriel Encinas

Here's this nugget from the Dovers, a minor hit from back in 1965. For starters 
I'd like to notice that this song should be played on a 12-string guitar.
This song is played with a Capo on the First fret on some versions.

this riff throughout the verses and whenever the chord progression is A and D

Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
A       D
With you,
A       D
with you

A                     D
Oh now I heard you say, 
                          A       D
about a girl who took my love away 
                 A
Now (that?) she left me all alone
D               A         D
I've no one to call my own

Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
Bm               E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
A        D
With you,
A        D
with you

A                   D 
(We?) had everything  
              A        D
there for my love to be 
    A                  D
But all she ever wanted 
           A      D
was to be set free

Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
A       D
With you,
A       D
with you

Bm                 E7
Well just what do I have to do
Bm                 E7 
To get your sweet lovin’ from you
Bm               E7 
Do I have to die once or twice
Bm                  E7
To keep you for the rest, 
                A   D 
the rest of my life,  
           A   D
all of my life

A                     D                 
If you were seventeen
                    A      D
I’d still feel the same way 
             A                    D
Well there’s nothing in this world 
                    A           D
that will make me change my way

Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
Bm              E7
Baby, what am I going to do 
A       D
With you,
A       D
with you

And that's it basically.. a cool and simple song :)
