A    Em    G    D

[Verse 1]

A
Believe me when I tell you
       G           D
I will try to understand
A                 Em
Believe me when I tell you
                     G
I could never kill a man

[Chorus]

       G                       D
But to know that another man's holding you tight
A               Em
Hurts me little darling
            G                    D
Through the morning, through the night

[Verse 2]

A
The bond has been broken
    G           D
The promise you gave
A                   Em
The words that were spoken
                  G
I can not be your slave

[Chorus]

       G                           D
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
A                Em
Hurts me, little darling
        G                         D
Through the nighttime, through the dawn

[Verse 3]

A
I dreamed just last night
         G           D
You were there by my side
A                 Em
Your sweet loving tenderness
          G
Easing my pride

[Bridge]

    G                D
But then I awoke and found you not there
       A            Em
It was just my old memory
   G          D
of how much I care

[Verse 4]

A
Believe me when I tell you
       G           D
I will try to understand
A                 Em
Believe me when I tell you
                     G
I could never kill a man  

[Chorus]

       G                        D
But to know that another man's holding you tight
A               Em
Hurts me little darling
        G                         D
Through the morning, through the night
