[D] [Bm] [D] [Bm]

[D] Nights didn't seem so long no more,
[Bm] Ain't one man like it was before --
[G] Just when I thought I was really okay,
[A] I saw Linda yesterday

[A] My heart went [D] up, down,
Like a merry-go-[Bm] round and ‘round,
Like a forest fire, [G] Down, down,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, [A] oh, oh, oh, oh...

[D] Looked like I'd found peace of mind,
[Bm] Looked like I was gonna make it this time --
[G] Just when I thought I was really okay,
[A] I saw Linda yesterday.

[D] Oh, she smiled that same old smile,
[Bm] My heart was runnin' wild --
[G] My love for her is reelin'
As [A] I go off the ceilin',

[D] Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,
[Bm] Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,
[G] Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,
[A] dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dum...
[D] Go straight to a lonely guy,
[Bm] Sit around and watch me cry --
[G] People ask what's wrong, I say,
[A] "I saw Linda yesterday."

[A] My heart went [D] up, down,
Like a merry-go-[Bm] round and ‘round,
Like a forest fire, [G] Down, down,
Oh, oh, oh, [A] dumb-didly, dumb-didly, dumb-dumb-dum...

[D] Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,
[Bm] Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,
[G] Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,
[A] dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum...
