D  G  D  A  D  G  D  A7  D A7

Chorus
          D                 G
Another Saturday night & I ain't got nobody,
D                               A
   I got some money,  'cause I just got paid ,
 D                 G                 D            A7    D   A7
How I wish I had someone to talk to,   I'm in an awful way

 Verse 1
 D                   A              D7                        G
   I got in town a month ago, I've seen a lot of girls since then,
          D                                 G
If I can meet 'em, I can get 'em , but, as yet, I haven't met 'em, 
        D               A7      D   A7
That's how I'm in the state I'm in. Oh, oh…

Chorus

Verse 2
D                 A                  D7                    G
  Another feller told me, he had a sister who looked just fine,
             D                        G     
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance
       D          A7      D     A7
 to a cat named Franken-stein . Oh, oh…

Chorus

Verse 3
D                  A          D                        G
  It's hard on a feller, when he don't know his way a-round,
             D                 G
If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money,
      D             A7       D    A7
I'm gonna have to blow this town. Oh, no…

      A                   
  ...can’t keep it in, I can’t keep it in, 
       E                    D
I’ve gotta let it out,      I’ve got to show the world,
                    E
World’s gotta see, see all the love, love that’s in me!
         A                                   E             
I said, why walk alone? Why worry when it’s warm over here?
            D               
You’ve got so much to say, say what you mean,
  E
Mean what you’re thinking, and think anything!


Verse 2 
     A                 F#m
Oh, why, why must you waste your life away?
                A   B7     E        F#m         G#m      B
You’ve got to live for to-day, then let it go------, oh-oh!
  A                          F#m
Lover, I want to spend this time with you,
                A    B      E             A  G#m
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do if you let me know--oh,oh!


Verse 3
 E      A
And I can’t keep it in, 
                     E                        
I can’t hide it, & I can’t lock it away,
    D
I’m up for your love, love heats my blood,
  E
Blood spins my head, & my head falls in love, oh!


  A                    E
| / / / / | / / / / | Haa-haa-haa, haa-hum! Ah-haa, haa-hum!
 D                                       E         F   G

Verse 4
        C                         F      C
 Oh, I can’t keep it in, I can’t keep it in, 
       G                         C/G  G      F
I’ve gotta let it out, woh-oh-oh,      I’ve got to show the world, 
                      G                               F
World’s gotta know, know of the love, love that lies low!
G   C                         F    C    G                C/G  G
So why can’t you say? If you know then why can’t you say?
            F
You’ve got too much deceit, deceit kills the light,
  G                             D            E7
Light has to shine, I said, shine light, shine light!



Verse 5
  A                     F#m
Love, that’s no way to live your life,
               A   B7    E      F#m      G#m     B7
You allow too much to go by, & that won’t do, no-oh!
  A                       F#m
Lover, I want to have you here by my side,
               A    B7        E              A   G#m      B
