G                C 
Forget about her birthday 

D7                  G 
And then think it's okay 

      C         D7    G    D7 
Don't bother to apo-logize 

G                  C 
Don't even buy her flowers 

D7                 G 
Or talk to her for hours 

   C      D7                 G    G7 
Or notice those tears in her eyes 


C             D7          G        C 
That's how to lose a good woman my friend 

D7                        G     G7 
That's how to lose a good woman 

C              D7        G        E7 
I've seen this plan work time and again 

D7                        G 
That's how to lose a good woman 


                   C 
Go where your mind leads you 

D7                     G 
Be gone when she needs you 

C                 D7       G   D7 
Show her you're a freeborn man 

G                C 
Go find you some bright lights 

D7             G 
And leave her alone nights 

    C         D7               G    G7 
And if you'll just follow this plan 


C             D7          G        C 
That's how to lose a good woman my friend 

D7                        G     G7 
That's how to lose a good woman 

C              D7        G        E7 
I've seen this plan work time and again 

D7                        G 
That's how to lose a good woman 


D7                        G
