INTRO: G
 
                  C                      G
You said you were leaving, and I said go on
               C                                    G
I don't know exactly what it is, but something went wrong
              D                      C   
It wasn't for nothing, it made a sad rhyme
            G      Em                C      G
I'm sorry I saw you, I meant to stay blind
 
 
CHORUS 1:
        A7           C
And I'm gonna go out steppin'
                  G      A7   
With my new man tonight
             C 
Gonna go out steppin'
                  G
With my new man tonight
 
 
                    C                   G
If my mother should ask me where you've gone
                    C                                          G
Gonna tell her that you joined the Marines, and she'll say, "C'mon"
                      D                    C   
And then she'll start laughing and so will I
                  G       Em                   C    G
I'm glad that I'm laughing, it's a good way to die
 
 
CHORUS 1:
        A7           C
And I'm gonna go out steppin'
                  G      A7   
With my new man tonight
             C 
Gonna go out steppin'
                  G
With my new man tonight
 
  
                 C                      G
When I finish my laundry and air out my head
                C                                       G
Gonna look for another longhaired man to help me make my bed
                   D                           C
You know that I'll miss you, but strangely I'm glad
                  G      Em                     C     G  A7   
Gonna make it without you, and that's what's so sad
 
 
CHORUS 2:
               C                      G     A7   
Gonna make it alone and that's what's sad
               C                      G
Gonna make it alone and that's what's sad

'Cause you know that I'll miss you, but strangely I'm glad
               G   Em                     C        G
Gonna make it alone, and that's what's so sad
