[doubled by bass]


Note: the "organ" - actually Zal's Guild Thunderbird with the treble
rolled off - plays the following chords during the verses:

111 111 111 111
xx765x xx777x xx432x xx645x
G C E D

The rhythm guitar plays G while the "organ" plays G to C (as denoted
by brackets).

Verse 1:

G [C] [G C]
1: Did you ever have to make up your mind
3: Then you know you better make up your mind
G [C] G E
To pick up on one and leave the other behind
G D C
It's not often easy, and not often kind
D G
Did you ever have to make up your mind

Verse 2:

[2: Did you ever have to finally decide]
[4: Then you bet you better finally decide]
To say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide [4: to coda]

Chorus 1:

E7
Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
A7
With hair down to here and plenty of money
C A7 G E7
And just when you think she's that one in the world
D7
Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl and...

[repeat verse 1]

[guitar solo over verse chords]

Chorus 2:

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father, and takes you in line
And says "better go home, son, and make up your mind"

[repeat verse 2]

Coda: (repeat last bar of intro)
