D Bm D Bm
D Nights didn’t seem so long no more,
Bm Ain’t one man like it was before —
G Just when I thought I was really okay,
A I saw Linda yesterday
A My heart went D up, down,
Like a merry-go-Bm round and ‘round,
Like a forest fire, G Down, down,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, A oh, oh, oh, oh…
D Looked like I’d found peace of mind,
Bm Looked like I was gonna make it this time —
G Just when I thought I was really okay,
A I saw Linda yesterday.
D Oh, she smiled that same old smile,
Bm My heart was runnin’ wild —
G My love for her is reelin’
As A I go off the ceilin’,
D Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,
Bm Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,
G Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,
A dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dum…
D Go straight to a lonely guy,
Bm Sit around and watch me cry —
G People ask what’s wrong, I say,
A "I saw Linda yesterday."
A My heart went D up, down,
Like a merry-go-Bm round and ‘round,
Like a forest fire, G Down, down,
Oh, oh, oh, A dumb-didly, dumb-didly, dumb-dumb-dum…
D Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,
Bm Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,
G Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,
A dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum…
