  E7                     D    A6       E
  Somebody, somebody,    come to my  side
  E7                     D    A6       E
  I'm tired, I'm crying, I'm  sick inside
  E7                     D    A6       E
  My woman, that woman,  just wasn't right

  B7
  Help me now please my friend
    D  A   G    A  G7     A7
  I ne-ver felt so bad be-fore

  Never never before

  Verse 2
  So funny, so funny, just like a show
  One name, two people, all in a row
  Somebody, somebody, someone must go

  Help me now please my friend
  I never felt so bad before
  Never never before

C                       F
  I was hurt when I was younger
Fm7                  C
  By a woman who was cold
                                F
  She took my name, she took my body
Fm7                      C
  Then she threw away my soul

Guitar solo: E

  Verse 3
  I can't hide, I can't hide my misery
  I know my sorrow won't set me free
  She did it, just see, she did it to me

  Help me now please my friend
  I never felt so bad before
  Never never before
