Ringo Starr – Love Dont Last Long (Guitar)

C
Her mother wrote a letter,

C
Said she thought it would be better

   F                   Dm
If she would just stay gone.

    G7
She knew of her condition,

G7
But she wouldn't give permission

    C
For her to come back home.

C
So she called the boy who loved her

C
But all he did was snub her,

       F               Dm
Said, "face it on your own."

  G7              C
Mm-mm, love don't last long.

C
A young man was unlucky

C
And got busted in kentucky,

          F             Dm
Asked his dad to go his bail.

        G7
But his dad had big ambitions

G7
With the local politicians,

         C
Told his son to go to hell.

C
He hung himself that morning

C
And the note that they found on him

       F                   Dm
Said, "dad, please take me home."

  G7              C          A7
Mm-mm, love don't last long.

  D
A woman told her husband,

D
She lived ev'ry day to love him,

        G                Em
Nothing else fits in her plans.

A7
Then without a warning,

A7
He came home from work one morning,

          D
Found her there with another man.

D
In a fit of anger

D
He took her life and the stranger's,

G                Em
Then he took his own.

  A7              D
Mm-mm, love don't last long.
