    C ~    C

1.               Don't that beat all I ever heard, dear,

                                                Dm

    don't that beat every single word.

                                                              - C                   Am

    You say you've changed your mind,         oh, baby, that's unkind,

D                                                     G                      G7

    they say that love is blind, the more I look, the more I find.

 

    C

2.      Don't that beat all I ever saw, dear

                                                      Dm

    don't that beat all and that's for sure.

                                            - C                               Am

    More fool that other guy,       he's gonna get the old go-by

               F              G          C

    well, well, don't that beat all.

3.  C - Dm

                                                   - C                Am

    You change your lovers fast,        so our affair is past,

D                                               G                        G7

    but now the die is cast, and he lasts longest, who lasts last.

 

     C

4.        There's one thing more I wanna say, dear,

                                                            Dm

    when you come begging back one day,

                                            - C                                         Am

    I'll take one look at you         and then I'll tell you what you can do,

               F         G                                 C

    well, well, ha-ha, - - - don't that beat all !
