[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…
