C                           Am
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving 
F                    G
I won't even turn my head 
C                            Am
Don't send your kin folks to give me no talkin' 
D                   G
I'll be gone like I said 

      C                                        C7
You'd say the same old things that you've been saying all along 
F
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut 'til I'm gone 
C                               Am
Don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan, 
F    G          C                      Am
Understand your man (I'm tired of your badmouthin') 
F    G          C
Understand your man. 
 
 C                             Am
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army 
 F                      G
And everything else I leave behind. 
C                            Am
I ain't takin' nothing that'll slow down my travelin' 
 D                   G
While I'm untanglin' my mind. 
 
   C                             C7
I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore 
  F
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before 
C                               Am
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter 
F    G          C                      Am
Then you'll understand your man (meditate on it) 
F    G          C               Am
You'll Understand your man (you hear me talkin') 
F    G          C               Am
Understand your man (remember what I told ya)
F    G          C       C
Understand your man
