Capo two.
Strumming is fairly simple: base string followed by high strings. Basic One-two.
Don t want no fancy diamonds
Don t want your mother s pearls
Don t want you to tell me
I m your only girl
(- shuffle)
Just want a man to come on by, pick me up and take me for a ride
Why can t you be my sweet somethin steady on the side.
Don t need your folks for dinner
I don t need to impress
Don t need to walk the aisle
I don t need the fancy dress
(- shuffle)
Don t need to hear you love me while you look deeply in my eyes
Why can t you be my sweet somethin steady on the side
Please don t tell me your middle name
Don t tell me where you went to school
Don t come runnin to me in the rain
You re gonna wind up somebody s fool
Don t call me in the daytime
And ask about my day
Don t be sittin on my doorstep
When you know that I m away
(- shuffle)
Just hear my body callin and you won t be denied
Why can t you be my sweet somethin steady on the side
Chord arrangement is based on the Romi Mayes performance for Desmet Live show.
