Understand Your Man

	  		C                           Am 
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving 
F                    G 
I won't even turn my head 
C                            Am 
Don't send your kin folks to give me no talkin' 
D                   G 
I'll be gone like I said 
      C                                        C7 
You'd say the same old things that you've been saying all along 
F                       
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut 'til I'm gone 
C                               Am  
Don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan, 
F    G          C                      Am   
Understand your man (I'm tired of your badmouthin') 
F    G          C 
Understand your man. 
 
 
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army 
And everything else I leave behind. 
I ain't takin' nothing that'll slow down my travelin' 
While I'm untanglin' my mind. 
 
I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore 
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before 
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter 
Then you'll understand your man (meditate on it) 
Understand your man (you hear me talkin') 
Understand your man (remember what I told ya)
