Verse 1
E
Well I tried to make it Sunday
B
But I got so damn depressed
C#m
That I set my sights on Monday
A
And I got myself undressed
E
I ain’t ready for the altar
B
But I do agree there’s times
C#m A
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Chorus
A E
Well I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you
A E
Sister Golden Hair surprise
A E
And I just can’t live without you
B E
Can’t you see it in my eyes?
Verse 2
E
Well I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you
B
And my heart’s been broken, too
C#m
But the time has come for me to
A
Get along without you now
E
I’ve been one poor correspondent
B
I’ve been too, too hard to find
C#m A
But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind
Chorus
A E
Well I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you
A E
Sister Golden Hair surprise
A E
And I just can’t live without you

Can’t you see it in my eyes?
