[Verse 1]
[G]Sweet thi[Em]ng,
you're dead [Am]now
You're dead
[D]Yeah
You're out [G]cold, [Em]but live on, now
[Am]Now at Christmastime,
[D]an [G]d the whole year rou[Em]nd
Right on?
Right [Am]on
[D]Look here, sweet thing,
let [G]me explain myself, baby
[Em]When I say you'r[Am]e dead,
I- I mean, you [D]know
I mean, I mean you're really [G]out of sight
Out of sight, [Em]totally [Am]together
But you, you let [D]me down now
You didn't [G]even defend yourself
You didn't defend [Em]yourself
[Am]Nor me
[D]And you left me like, lik[G]e...
Oh, [Em]no, I can't say this on record,
[Am]but I'm gonna try to write[D]
This little [Dm]old letter an[D]d,
and let you dig my [G]little old rap
It starts [Em]like this
Listen to it
[Am]For what it's worth, for what it
Could mean to you and I [D]both later [G]on
Dear [Em]Sweet Thing, Fox,
[Am]all the beautiful thin[Dm]gs
[D]All the little names that I g[G]ive you
I sit here so [Em]aggravated and bewildered
[Am]because
You didn't, [D]you know,
[Dm]you didn't [D]come home
[G]You didn't come straight
back to me [Em]last night
No [Am]fussing, no fighting, [D]no nothing
You just [G]up and [Em]split
with another [Am]cat
Of course, I found out later he [D]was your friend,
[G]but uh...
And this much [Em]this morning I was able,
I was able
To understand [Am]that, after a [D]very hectic night
[G]You can dig the night was lon[Em]g
[Am]Now, I made it clear as possible[D],
as possibly I [G]could say it
[Em]Baby, don't go t[Am]o strangers
Come on home to [D]me[G]
Now, [Em]it's true, it's true,
this is a man's [Am]world
[D]But it wouldn't be not[G]hing
without [Em]your kind [Am]that I
See now [D]after 24 hours of suffering,
[G]tears, cold [Em]sweat[Am]
Why does my girl always [D]have [G]to be the
One to go south and [Em]go away
[Am]from me?
And leave me stringing [D]on a tree,
dangling on a string
That's all right
[G]I'm gonna be there when you come back
[Em]But I'm gonna give you this little old rap
So [Am]you can get this together,
[D]you know?
Since you don't, [G]you know,
smoke it in a pipe
[Em]Just to [Am]chew it but understand
what I'm saying
[D]I want you to know where I'm coming
from now
[G]Like, I have a right, you know,
[Em]to like, come on with this old
[Am]Aggravated or, or, uh,
antag[D]onizing rap because I feel a little down
[G]But I think you're gonna make it all
Right 'cause you just to[Em]gether that way
[Am]Now, baby,
[D]can't you be conscious of like
[G]Every moment in the day and the night?
[Em]And let all of our moods be for each[Am] other together,
[D]you know?
And [G]completely out of sight,
completely out of [Em]sight in every way
[Am]How can I explain it when we
[D]live and
Concentrate on being [G]healthy
100% in mellow [Em]tone?
[Am]However, [D]yes,
I know sometime that [G]you aren't mellow, but
You know, [Em]uh, deep down inside
I know you [Am]mellow people
Well, [D]at least not as mellow [G]as I
hope you would be sometime
[Em]But you know how to do something
about that [Am]too
'Cause you just too good
to be [D]anything but [G]you
Now, I'm still, I'm [Em]still willing to,
[Am]to help for, f[D]or...
Let's say help each [G]other and
[Em]I don't care what it take
Even if we have to sleep in a tent
[Am]as long as I know that
We are [D]close together and that vibrations,
[G]uh, from
Your love and [Em]affection and the warmth
of you [Am]is there[D]
Can't you [G]see that [Em]this opportunity
[Am]comes once [D]in a lifetime?[G]
Sometimes [Em]I wanna know why you
living on past [Am]time
[D]Past time things right before your eyes,
you know?
[G]Mm[Em]
[Am]Well, and sometimes it just seem it's
im[D]possible for you to see
You're, [G]you're not blind,
you know?
You're just hard[Em]headed,
stubborn, but that's all right
Those are the [Am]sweet things
that makes you you
And [D]I wouldn't take nobody
else [G]but you
[Em]You let my flame go ou[Am]t last night[D][G]
You let my [Em]flame [Am]go out
[D]You know?
I, I don't expect like [G]for you
just to, you can sleep
James Brown or you can [Em]sleep your man,
but uh
[Am]Since I'm your man,
you can even sleep me, [D]James Brown
You know?
'Cause that's who we're talking
[G]about
We're not talking about John
Doe or [Em]maybe
Johnny Terry or somebody,
[Am]or Bobby Byrd
[D]We're talking about me and you,
[G]or you and
I if you want to [Em]be, you
know, correct
But I think just saying [Am]me and you makes it close,
you know?
I can feel [D]you that way
That's all [G]right
Just take your time
