[Verse 2]
[A]Joe called round to [D]ask me,
Would I [F#m]do a favor?
[G]While he's gon[D]na be [A]out of town
He says his girl needs [D]company,
she get[F#m]s so restless
[G]Would I [D]keep her [A]safe and sound?

[Verse 3]
[D]Softly, softly [E]in the night
Why, [F#m]you can guess the re[G]st...

[Verse 5]
Joe said we've been friend[D]s so long
That [F#m]I would be the one[G]
he [D]would trust [A]with his life
And now those words roll [D]'round my brain
As [F#m]dark ness falls,
as [G]I turn o[D]ut his b[A]edroom light

[Verse 6]
Who [D]could resist her [E]tender charms?
[F#m]So the story goe[G]s...
This [A]actor he plays [D]all the parts

[G]Would I [D]check that she's
[A]safe and sound?
