[Verse 1]
Ab              Db       Ab
Oh the taste of wine and liquor
Db             Ab
And a woman's tender kiss
Db      Ab
Sure paints the perfect picture
Eb7
That's so hard to resist.

[Verse 2]
Ab      Db       Ab
Though the lure of that old night life
Db
Has always tempted fools
Ab
It can't compare with what
Eb7      Ab
You stand to lose.

[Chorus]
Db         Ab
Remember the promise
Db                Fm
You wear on your left hand
Db           Ab
Cheatings no companion
Eb7         Ab
For a real lady's man.

[Verse 3]
Db    Ab
If only I had listened
Db           Ab
To my own words of advice
Db  Ab
And turned down the invitation
Eb7
In another woman's eyes.

[Verse 4]
Ab       Db   Ab
For the softness of a stranger
Db
I threw good love away
Ab
Friend there ain't no higher
Eb7      Ab
Price to pay.

[Chorus]
Db         Ab
Remember the promise
Db                Fm
You wear on your left hand
Db           Ab
Cheatings no companion
Eb7         Ab
For a real lady's man.
