      C              G
I got over Charlotte Thompson

       F        G                  C
Goldie Johnson, Lord, they done me wrong

          C                G
I took it hard with Peggy Harper

            F   G            C
She hurt me bad, but not for long
[Verse]
             C       G
There's just one I remember

         F    G            C
Makes me feel funny down inside

              C                G
I'd trade 'em all for just one hour

   F F/E G/D  G   C
Of Susan when she tried
[Chorus]
           | C C/B C/A C/G |
No there's never

       | C C/B C/A C/G |
Been a woman

          F       G      C
Who could make me weak inside

    | C C/B C/A C/G |
And give me

      | C C/B C/A C/G |
What I needed

     F F/E G/D  G   |  C  |  %  |  %  |
Like Susan when she tried
[Verse]
        C            G
It gets worse in the summer

         F     G            C
When the nights are hot and long

         C        G
And it's bad in December

          F   G                C
When they play those Christmas songs
[Verse]
           C                  G
So, if you ask me and I don't tell you

         F           G         C
Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied

               C              G
'Cause there's never been one better

     F F/E G/D  G   C
Than Susan when she tried
[Chorus]
           | C C/B C/A C/G |
No there's never

       | C C/B C/A C/G |
Been a woman

          F       G      C
Who could make me weak inside

    | C C/B C/A C/G |
And give me

      | C C/B C/A C/G |
What I needed

     F F/E G/D  G   C
Like Susan when she tried
