D
I got something to say that might cause you pain,
If I catch you talking to that boy again,
G D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.
A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.
D
Well it's the second time I caught you talking to him,
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin.
G D
I think I'll let you down, and leave you flat.
A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.
F#7 Bm Em F#m D
Everybody's gree--een, 'cause I'm the one who won your love,
F#7 Bm Em F#m
But if they'd see--een, you talking that way, they'd laugh in my face.
D
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,
I can't help my feelings I go out of my mind,
G D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.
A7 G D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

Acknowledgement: This song was originally transcribed in 1993 by Jim Campobello (campo@calspan.com). I downloaded Jim's version and transposed into the key of G used on the Anthology album. I also added some bluesy 11ths and 9ths which give the Beatles that bluesy rock sound. The Beatles also played this in F# in the opening segment of the movie A Hard Day's Night. A great song that I have just rediscovered. Enjoy!
