[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][F][Am][Em][F][E][Am][E]
[Am]
[G]
[Am]I sermoned

[Verse 1]
for the Sabbath day,
[E]said Mar[Am]tha Johnson Bro[E]wn.
[Am]It's gonna be a [E]vint[Am]age,
[F#dim]every gal[G] in to[Em]wn.[G][E]
[Am]Now Mandy [E]Lee just t[Am]old [E]me
[Am]a man had gone away.
[G]That will [D]be [G]the subject
[Am]which [D]I'll preach [G]about today
[C]You can't hold the [F#dim]man you l[G#]ove,
[C]don't cry when he's gone
You [F]can't keep a [C]good man [C#dim]down,
[D]don't you carry [F#dim]on[G]
[C]First I want you gals
to know
[F]a little fact I've known
[G]It [D]takes mor[C]e than a rad[D]io
[G]to keep a man at home
An[C]d some nights when [G#]you're alone,
[C]wait[F]in' [Am]for the [C]dawn
[F]Listen sisters, listen
while I [E]warn, [F#dim]dog's gon[Ebdim]e[E]
Can't [G]mail a letter if it isn't [Am]stamped
Can't re[G]form a man
but he can be revamped
You [C]can't hold the man [Cm]you love,
[G#]don't [C]cry [G]when he's [F]gone
[G]Can[C]'t hold the [Ebdim]birds
unless [G]you feed him seeds
You can't hold a [Ebdim]dog
without the [G]zones he needs
A [C]monkey don't get peanuts,
[F]you'll find him gone
[G#]Can't hold a chicken[G]
unless [C]you feed [G]him corn
[Baug]Can 't h[Cm]old [C]a seal[Ebdim]
unless you [G]feed him fish
Even [C]got to grant [Ebdim]a
baby the [G]slightest wish
Now [C]let me tell you, sugar, the [F]Lord above
[G#]You can't hold a man[G]
unless you give him love
[C]And some nights [G#]you're [G]alone
[C]Waitin' for the dawn
[F]Listen, sisters, listen to me
While I [E]warn [D]the gods
[E]Oh, you [G]better get wise
and realize the truth,
keep the home fires burning
for your flaming youth.
[C]You can't hold the [G#]man you love,
don't [C]cry [G]when he's [F]gone.[C][G][C][F][C][A][Am]
