Track 10 of 12 on the album "Another Story" (1967) [Intro] A7 D [Chorus]
         D                 G
I never had the one that I wanted

      A7                     D
Never wanted the one that I had

                              G
For the one that I had was a good girl

        A7                    D
And the one that I wanted was bad
[Verse 1]
     D              G                D
They say that the grass always looks greener

                                   A7
And I guess that's the nature of a man

       D                 D7        G
To let passion have its way, never thinking what he'll pay

          A7                              D
And it's hard, oh, ain't it hard to understand?
[Chorus]
         D                 G
I never had the one that I wanted

      A7                     D
Never wanted the one that I had

                              G
For the one that I had was a good girl

        A7                    D
And the one that I wanted was bad
[Slide Guitar Solo] D G A7 D [Verse 2]
     D           G                  D
What makes a man want to flirt with danger

                                    A7
Like a child that's playing with a fire?

          D             D7       G
Must the most luscious peach be always out of reach

          A7                        D
And the things you can't have you desire?
[Chorus]
         D                 G
I never had the one that I wanted

      A7                     D
Never wanted the one that I had

                          G
If I ever get back to the good girl

       A7                    D
I will never go back to the bad
