[Intro] | D A | A A7 | D | D | [Verse 1]
D                             G
I’m tellin’ you, you'd better change your way

     A              A7               D
I am tired of being lonely night and day

D
While around the town you chase

            G
There’ll be someone in your place

   A                   A7
If you don't stop your cheatin'

              D
I’m a-tellin’ you
[Verse 2]
D                                  G
I’m getting wise, so honey, take a tip from me

     A               A7             D
I am not the foolish soul I used to be

D
If you think you’re treatin' me wrong

            G
You’ll come home and I’ll be gone

       A                A7
If you don't straighten out

              D
I’m a-tellin’ you
[Instrumental] | D | D | G | G | | A | A7 | D | D | | D | D | G | G | | A | A7 | D | D | [Outro]
D                           G
The road is long that never takes a turn

        A                  A7               D
And the heart is hard that has no chance to yearn

D
I love you much too much

        G
Oh, you big old such and such

        A                 A7
Now you better straighten out

A7            D
I'm a-tellin' you

D       A                 A7
Now you better straighten out
