Verse 1
G
Em
Sweet thing,
You're dead
D
Yeah
G
Em
You're out cold, but live on, now
Am
Now at Christmastime,
D
G
Em
an d the whole year round
Right on?
D
Look here, sweet thing,
G
let me explain myself, baby
Em
Am
When I say you're dead,
G
I mean, I mean you're really out of sight
Em
Am
Out of sight, totally together
D
But you, you let me down now
G
You didn't even defend yourself
Em
You didn't defend yourself
D
G
And you left me like, like...
Em
Oh, no, I can't say this on record,
Am
D
but I'm gonna try to write
Dm
D
This little old letter and,
G
and let you dig my little old rap
Listen to it
Am
For what it's worth, for what it
D
G
Could mean to you and I both later on
Em
Dear Sweet Thing, Fox,
Am
Dm
all the beautiful things
D
G
All the little names that I give you
Em
I sit here so aggravated and bewildered
Dm
D
you didn't come home
G
You didn't come straight
Em
back to me last night
Am
D
No fussing, no fighting, no nothing
G
Em
You just up and split
D
Of course, I found out later he was your friend,
Em
And this much this morning I was able,
I was able
Am
D
To understand that, after a very hectic night
G
Em
You can dig the night was long
Am
D
Now, I made it clear as possible,
G
as possibly I could say it
Em
Am
Baby, don't go to strangers
D
G
Come on home to me
Em
Now, it's true, it's true,
Am
this is a man's world
D
G
But it wouldn't be nothing
Em
Am
without your kind that I
D
See now after 24 hours of suffering,
G
Em
Am
tears, cold sweat
D
G
Why does my girl always have to be the
Em
One to go south and go away
Am
from me?
D
And leave me stringing on a tree,
dangling on a string
That's all right
G
I'm gonna be there when you come back
Em
But I'm gonna give you this little old rap
Am
So you can get this together,
G
Since you don't, you know,
smoke it in a pipe
Em
Am
Just to chew it but understand
what I'm saying
D
I want you to know where I'm coming
from now
G
Like, I have a right, you know,
Em
to like, come on with this old
Am
Aggravated or, or, uh,
D
antagonizing rap because I feel a little down
G
But I think you're gonna make it all
Em
Right 'cause you just together that way
D
can't you be conscious of like
G
Every moment in the day and the night?
Em
Am
And let all of our moods be for each other together,
D
you know?
G
And completely out of sight,
Em
completely out of sight in every way
Am
How can I explain it when we
D
live and
G
Concentrate on being healthy
Em
100% in mellow tone?
Am
D
However, yes,
G
I know sometime that you aren't mellow, but
Em
You know, uh, deep down inside
Am
I know you mellow people
D
G
Well, at least not as mellow as I
hope you would be sometime
Em
But you know how to do something
'Cause you just too good
D
G
to be anything but you
Em
Now, I'm still, I'm still willing to,
Am
D
to help for, for...
G
Let's say help each other and
Em
I don't care what it take
Even if we have to sleep in a tent
Am
as long as I know that
D
We are close together and that vibrations,
Em
Your love and affection and the warmth
Am
D
of you is there
G
Em
Can't you see that this opportunity
Am
D
G
comes once in a lifetime?
Em
Sometimes I wanna know why you
D
Past time things right before your eyes,
you know?
G
Em
Mm
Am
Well, and sometimes it just seem it's
D
impossible for you to see
G
You're, you're not blind,
you know?
Em
You're just hardheaded,
stubborn, but that's all right
Am
Those are the sweet things
that makes you you
D
And I wouldn't take nobody
Em
Am
D
G
You let my flame go out last night
Em
Am
You let my flame go out
G
I, I don't expect like for you
just to, you can sleep
Em
James Brown or you can sleep your man,
but uh
D
you can even sleep me, James Brown
You know?
'Cause that's who we're talking
G
about
We're not talking about John
Johnny Terry or somebody,
D
We're talking about me and you,
Em
I if you want to be, you
know, correct
Am
But I think just saying me and you makes it close,
you know?
D
I can feel you that way
Just take your time
