		________________________________________

Intro:   B  E  B  E  B  E  B     a few times   (barre your index finger at the 7th fret: shortest way)

Verse:
B   E   B   E   B   E          ————> same pattern as intro
Blue sky upon the horizon,
B   E   B   E   B   E
Private eye is on my trail,
       A        D       A        D   etc.      ————> same playing but on the 5th fret and not so many changings
And if I don't be there by morning
	      B   E   B   E   B   E   B   E
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

Verse:
I got a woman livin' in L.A.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if I don't be there by morning,
She'll know that I must have gone the other way.

Bridge:
F#m                    B
Finding my way back to you girl,
			        E
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
F#m                   B
Sometimes I think of you girl,
        C    C#   F#
Is it true that you think of me too?


Solo   over verse chord pattern


Bridge:
Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue, mistreated too.
Sometimes I think of you girl,
Is it true that you think of me too?

Verse:
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, hope she's waiting for me still.
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.


Key solo over verse chord pattern

If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.
I never will
I never will
I never will
I never will


applause and "Thankyou!"
