Only The Strong Survive

    Ab
    I remember my first love affair
    Ab
    Somehow or another the whole 
darn thing went wrong
    Ab
    My mamma had some great advice
    Ab
    So I thought I'd put it into 
words of this song
    Ab
    I can still hear her sayin' it
    Ab
    Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' 
out there all alone
    Ab
    Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the 
woman that you love has gone
    Ab
    Oh, there's gonna be, there's 
gonna be a whole lot of trouble in 
your life
    Ab
    Oh, so listen to me get up off 
your knees 'cos only the strong 
survive
