[Verse]
Em           Am            G           Em
 Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
G        Am
 Holdin' Jim
G       Am
 Lovin' him

Em              Am             G                   Em
 Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
G       Am
 Me and Sue,
G           Am
 That died, too.


[Chorus]
G                  C          G         D
 Don't know that I will but until I can find me
              C             G             D
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
               Em    D
I'll be what I am
           Em    D
A solitary man
         Em
Solitary man


[Verse]
Em              Am          G              Em
 I've had it to here, being where love's a small word
G          Am
 Part time thing
G      Am
 Paper ring

Em                Am          G            Em
 I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
G         Am
 Right or wrong
G        Am
 Weak or strong


[Chorus]
G                  C          G         D
 Don't know that I will but until I can find me
              C             G             D
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
               Em    D
I'll be what I am
           Em    D
A solitary man
         Em
Solitary man


[Interlude]
Em   Am   Em   Am


[Chorus]
G                  C          G         D
 Don't know that I will but until I can find me
              C             G             D
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
               Em    D
I'll be what I am
           Em    D
A solitary man
         Em    D
Solitary man

Em    D          Em    D
        Solitary man
Em    D          Em    D
        Solitary man
