 Verse 3:

         If you keep on tellin' me those lies
         Still goin' out with other guys
         There'll come a day I'll be gone
         Take my advice, won't be long

 Verse 4:

         When that day comes, won't be mad
         Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
         In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
         I'll be unhappy if I let you go

 [repeat chorus]

 [repeat intro; end cold on C]


 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers

Still another one-hit wonder: Minneapolis punkers the Castaways took this
 rant to #12 in October, 1965.  Dave Marsh: 'Twenty years later, Prince
 came out of the same town with two-finger organ riffs that surpassed
 this one, but it took that long to beat 'em.'  -- AWR
