  57 Either someone needing mercy
  58 A                             E
  59  might be somethin' I've done wrong.

  61 Well, your friends come by for you
  62 I don't know what to say
  63 Well, your friends come by for you
  64 I don't know what to say
  65 I just can't face to tell 'em
  66 Honey you just went away.

  68 The children cry for mother
  69 I tell 'em, &quot;Mother took a trip.&rdquo;
  70 Well, the children cry for mother
  71 I tell 'em, &quot;Mother took a trip.&rdquo;
  72 Well, I walk on pins and needles
  73 I hope my tongue don't slip.
  74
  75 Well, I gaze at passing strangers
  76 In case I might see you
  77 Yes, I gaze at passing strangers
  78 In case I might see you
  79 But the sun goes around the heavens
  80 And another day just drives on through.
  81
  82 Way out in the distance
  83 I know you're with some other man
  84 Way out in the distance
  85 I know you're with some other man
  86 But that's all right, baby
  87 You know I always understand.

  89 Call girls in the doorway
  90 All givin' me the eye
  91 Call girls in the doorway
  92 All givin' me the eye
  93 But my heart's just not in it
  94 I might as well pass right on by.
  95
  96 My ears are ringin'
  97 Ringin' like empty shells
  98 My ears are ringin'
  99 Ringin' like empty shells
 100 Well, it can't be no guitar player
 101 It must be combat bells.
