C                           Am                   
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'  
F                    G     
I won't even turn my head  
   
C                           Am                   
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'  
F                    G     
I won't even turn my head  
C                           Am                  
Don't sent your kin folk to give me no talkin'  
D                   G7    
I'll be gone like I said  
C                                       C7                         
You'd just say the same old things that you been sayin' all along  
F                                   Fm                        
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone  
C                               Am                     
Don't give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan  
F     G7         C    
Under-stand your man  
                  Am            
I'm tired of your bad mouthin'  
F     G7         C    
Under-stand your man  
   
C                           Am                   
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'  
F                    G     
I won't even turn my head  
C                           Am                  
Don't sent your kin folk to give me no talkin'  
D                   G7    
I'll be gone like I said  
C                                       C7                         
You'd just say the same old things that you been sayin' all along  
F                                   Fm                        
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone  
C                               Am                     
Don't give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan  
F     G7         C    
Under-stand your man  
   
C                                  Am              
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army  
F                              G     
And everything else I leave be-hind  
C                              Am                      
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'  
D                       G     
While I'm untanglin' my mind  
C                           C7             
I ain't gonna repeat what I said any more  
F                                       Fm               
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before  
C                      Am                    
I'll be as gone as the wild goose in winter  
F                 G7         C    
Then you'll under-stand your man  
   
     Am          
Medi-tate on it  
Fade
F     G7         C    
Under-stand your man  
            Am               
You hear me talking, honey?  
F     G7         C    
Under-stand your man  
            Am         
Hear what I told you?
