I don't know why but I'm feel-ing so sad
3  -3  3   4    3    -3 -3* 3  4   4
I long to try some-thing I nev-er had
3*  -2  3  -2  3*  -2
Nev-er had no kiss-in'

Lov-er man, oh, where can you be?

-1    2   -1   3  -1   2  -2 -1  3   3
The night is cold and I'm so all a-lone
3    -3  3   4     3  -3 -3*   3  4   4
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
3* -2   3 -2  3*  -2  
Got a moon a-bove me
3*  -2  3  -2   3* -2
But no one to love me
1*  -2  3   3*    3   -2  -1  -2
Lov-er man, oh, where can you be?

-3* 3 -3 -3*  3  -3  -3*
I  go to bed with a pray’r
3      -3    -3*  4  -3* -3
That you'll make love to me
-3      3  -2   3
Strange as it seems

-1    2   -1    3
Some-day we'll meet
-1    2    -2  -1  3    3
And you'll dry all my tears
3     -3  3     4
Then whis-per sweet
3   -3    -3*  3  4   4
Lit-tle things in my ears
3*   -2   3 -2  3*  -2
Hug-gin’ and a-kiss-in’
3*   -2   3     -2   4   -2
Oh, what we've been miss-in’
1*  -2  3   3*    3   -2  -1  -2
Lov-er man, oh, where can you be?
