Note: the "organ" - actually Zal's Guild Thunderbird with the treble

rolled off - plays the following chords during the verses:

  111   111   111     111

xx765x xx777x xx432x xx645x

   G       C       E       D

The rhythm guitar plays G while the "organ" plays G to C (as denoted

by brackets).

Verse 1:

            G            [C]         [G     C]

1: Did you ever have to make up your mind

3: Then you know you better make up your mind

    G         [C]                G       E

To pick up on one and leave the other behind

      G         D         C

It's not often easy, and not often kind

         D                         G

Did you ever have to make up your mind

Verse 2:

[2: Did you ever have to finally decide]

[4: Then you bet you better finally decide]

To say yes to one and let the other one ride

There's so many changes and tears you must hide

Did you ever have to finally decide [4: to coda]

Chorus 1:

                  E7

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny

      A7

With hair down to here and plenty of money

     C             A7               G          E7

And just when you think she's that one in the world

      D7

Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl and...

[repeat verse 1]

[guitar solo over verse chords]

Chorus 2:

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her

And then you get distracted by her older sister

When in walks her father, and takes you in line

And says "better go home, son, and make up your mind"

[repeat verse 2]

Coda:   (repeat last bar of intro)
