I don't know much about the Knight Brothers except that a) they weren't
related; b) neither of them was named Knight (one of them, Joe Diggs,
wrote this soul classic); and c) they made Sam and Dave sound like Chad
and Jeremy. Oh, yes... play the choruses of this and 'The Cheater' back
to back. --AWR

(Joe Diggs)

Verse 1:

Gmaj7 Am7
Another day's gone by
Gmaj7 Am7
Lord, and still I wait
Gmaj7 Bm7
You'll never know how much
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Am7/D
I've tried to keep my faith and good humor

Gmaj7 Am7
She don't write or phone
Gmaj7 Am7
Seems as if she's never comin' home
Gmaj7 Bm7
But if all my faith
Am7
Is almost gone
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
You'll hear me cryin'

Chorus:

Gmaj7 Am7
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Gmaj7 Am7
Temptation's 'bout to get me
Gmaj7 Am7
Temptation's 'bout to get me
(Am7) Em
And all my faith will come tumblin' down

Verse 2:

All my friends, they understand
They feel the same as I do
She's your love, you know
Here very life is you

Days go by, Lord, and I get weaker
Said a heart that was strong gets a little weaker
I know, somehow I know
That if my little heart gets weaker
You'll hear my cryin'

[repeat chorus]

Coda (repeat to fade):

Gmaj7 Am7
Temptation's 'bout to get me
