Understand Your Man

C                           Am
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
F                    G
I won't even turn my head
C                            Am
Don't send your kin folks to give me no talkin'
D                   G
I'll be gone like I said

F
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut 'til I'm gone
C                               Am
Don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan,

 F                      G
And everything else I leave behind.
C                            Am
I ain't takin' nothing that'll slow down my travelin'
 D                   G
While I'm untanglin' my mind.

While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
F    G          C                      Am
