         F                 F      Ab  Bb  Ab  F
All you fellows, gather 'round me
            F                    F      Ab  Bb  Ab  F
And let me give you some good advice
          F            F      Ab  Bb  Ab  F
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
             F              F     Ab  Bb  Ab  F
You better think about it twice
             Dm                       Am
While you're lying, cheating on your woman
          Gm                        Bb        C
There is something you never ever thought of,   now tell me

Chorus:

F                    F       Ab  Bb  Ab  F
Who's making love to your old lady
F                          F      Ab  Bb  Ab  F
While you were out making love [1: hear me now]
          F                    F       Ab  Bb  Ab  F
[1: Now] who's making love to your old lady
  F                        F   Ab  Bb  Ab  [1: C  2, 3: F]
While you were out making love

Verse 2:

I've seen so, so many fellows
Fall in   that same old bag
Thinking that a woman   is made to
To be beat on and treated so bad
Oh, fellows, let me ask you something
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, now tell me

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

   F                        Ab/F
I know there are some women guilty of this too
Bb/F                                  Ab/F
I'm not tryin' to run your life, the choice is up to you

     C         Db        Ab        Eb  C
     / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
Oh, you   oh! oh, you, you you

Verse 3:

The reason why   I ask this question
I used to be the same old way
When I decided   to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late
Oh, yeah, that's when it all happened
Something I never, never dreamed of

Chorus 3:

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

Coda [repeat to fade]:

     F                    F       Ab  Bb  Ab  F  [continue]
Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
(Who?  Who?    Your old lady)
(While you were out making love)
