I (A)guess it was your self you were in (Dmaj7)volved pi with.

in’ the show.

That ain't no (E)way to treat a (Amaj7)la dy, no way to treat your ba by, your wom an, your friend.

That ain’t no (E)way to treat a (Amaj9)la dy, no (Dmaj7)way,

That ain't no (E)way to treat a (Amaj7)la dy, no way to treat your ba by, your wom an, your friend.

That ain’t no (E)way to treat a (Amaj9)la dy, no (Dmaj7)way,
