Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Baby Leaves You

Ab


[Verse]

Ab
While you're running around bawling

Or playing at clubs every night

You ought to be home with the one who loves you

You know the gal who treats you right

Tell me, boys

I want you to tell me

Yes, yes, yes


[Chorus]

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do?
                                        Eb
What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do
Ab
When she says her last goodbye?
Db
I bet you wanna sit right down and cry
Ab
What'cha gonna do
         Eb
When your baby leaves?
Ab
What'cha gonna do?


[Verse 2]

You come home early in the morning

You think everybody is asleep

She's been sitting there with her eyes wide open

And tears are running down her cheeks

Now tell me, boys

I want you to tell me
          Eb
Yes, yes, yes
    Ab
All right


[Solo]

Ab Eb Ab Db Ab Eb Ab


[Verse 3]

Ab
You know my mother she done told me

Late on one Saturday night

She said you ought to be home with the one who loves you

You know the gal who treats you right

Now she said, "now listen, son

You know I'm your mother

You know I wouldn't tell you nothing wrong

But I want you

Yes, I want you to tell me

Oh


[Chorus 2]

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do?

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?
Eb
What'cha gonna do
Ab
Now when she says her last goodbye?
Db
I bet you wanna sit right down and cry
Ab
What'cha gonna do
         Eb
When your baby leaves?
        Ab                 Db
Tell me what'cha gonna do?
Ab                 Db
What'cha gonna do?
               Ab
What'cha gonna do?
