Am                  Am     C
  Ain't no need to worry
D                   C
  Ain't no use to cry
                      C
Cause I'll be comin' home soon
D                   Am  Am D C Am
  To keep you satisfied

You know I get so lonely

  That I feel I can't go on
                        C          D
And it feels so good inside, baby
         F               Am        D
Just to call you on the telephone, I said

Am                  Am     C
     I woke up early this morning
D                           Am  Am D C Am
  And the sun came shining down
                               C
And it found me wishin' and a-hopin'
D                     Am  Am D C Am
 Mama, you could be around
                      C
Well you know that I need you
D                       Am  Am D C Am
  More than the air I breathe
                                C
And I guess I'm just trying to tell you woman
