Here are the words (from memory) and chords.
(Note that I'm not certain of the placement of the two choruses.)

Love the One You're With - Stills

Intro: G(7) D(5) G/D D (repeat)

D G(7)D(5) G/D D
When you're down, and confused,
G(7) D(5) G/D D
and you don't remember who you're talking to,
G(7) D(5) G/D D
concentration, slips away,
G(7)D(5) G/D D
because your baby, is so far away.

Chorus 1:

Bm A G CGCG (see note 1)
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove,
Bm A G CGCG
And the eagle flies with the dove,
Bm A G
and if you can't be with the one you love, honey,
G D
love the one you're with,
G D
love the one you're with.

Verse 2:
Don't be angry, don't be sad,
and don't sit crying, over good times you've had,
There's a girl, right next to you
and she's just waiting, for something to do.

Chorus 1:
Chorus 2: (see note 2)

G F# G F# G F# A A

Do do doot, Do do doot

Chorus 1: (No words, organ lead part)

Verse 3:
Turn your heart-ache, right into joy,
she's a girl, and you're a boy,
get it together, make it nice,
you ain't gonna need, any more advice.

Chorus 1:

In article <9305261536.AA04070@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca> you write:
>Nevada only has "southern cross", perhaps someone could post the chords
>(unless TAB is necessary) to this song...

Hi again...

The basic chord progression is:


F C Dm C
If you're down and confused...

Am G F
There's a rose in a fisted glove...

C F C
Love the one you're with

Dm C
Love the one you're with


Bb C
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...


The acoustic guitar is actually played in open C tuning, and the lower
strings form sort of a drone throughout. Low to high, the tuning is

C G C G C E
-4 -2 -2 0 +1 0 (deviation from standard)

and the basic riff is then

005555 004003 002001 000000

Don't ask me how to play the Am-G-F part or the Bb-C in that tuning, though...

Andrew


PS: Incidentally, the Moody Blues' "Question" is also in open C, and uses
the *exact* same pattern under the "it's not the way that you say it" part.
Try it! The verses go

Ebdim Dm C
Why do we never get an answer

where Ebdim = 000232 (that's right, the same fingering as D in standard)
Dm = 002001
C = 000000
