Understand Your Man
View chords used in this chart
G Em
Don't call my name out your window I'm leaving
C D
And I won't even turn my head
G Em
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'
A D
I'll be long gone like I said
G
You say the same old things that you've been saying all along
C
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shot till I'm gone
G Em
And don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan
C D G C D G
Understand your man, understand your man
Guitar - steel
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
and everything else I leave behind
Cause I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my traveling
While I'm untangling my mind
Oh I ain't gonna repeat what I've said anymore
While I'm breathin' this air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter you'll understand your man
Think about it honey understand your man hear me talkin' understand your man
