This is a song by William Bell from his album "The Soul of a Bell." Subsequently, it was covered by the Byrds in a country version on "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and by Otis Redding on "Otis Blue." I can't connect to alt.music.byrds but if someone else wants to send it there, that's cool. {Intro} G C G {First Verse} Em G In the beginning, you really loved me C G But I was blind, and I could not see Em C But when you left me, oh how I cried G You don't miss your water D G Till your well runs dry {Break} {Second Verse} I was a playboy, I could not be true I didn't believe, I really loved you But when you left me, oh how I cried You don't miss your water Till your well runs dry {Repeat First Verse}
