Chords for Irene Reid

[C] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ [Fm] _
[C] Well, [Eb] baby, [Fm] I guess this is the wind up this time.
[Eb] _ [Fm] _
[C] I'm really going.
[Cm] And I'm not [Fm] coming back anymore.
_ [Cm] [Fm] Oh, I know I [C] said it before, _ [Cm] but you [Fm] came all the way to Phoenix to get me [Cm] and you worked
me [Fm] half to death.
[C] You said, baby, I [Eb] love you.
[Fm] I need you.
[Eb] Just come back home one more time and [C] I promise you that I'll never, never [Cm] hurt you again.
_ [Fm] But you lie.
[Cm] [Fm] You know [C] that you lie.
[Cm] I wasn't back for two days [Fm] and you went into your same old bag [Cm] all over again.
[Fm] _
[C] You know, baby, the heart [Eb] can understand so much.
[Fm] And after 10 long years, I [Cm] think I've had it.
[Fm] _
[C] _ [Eb] You know, _ [Fm] you're busy.
[Cm] You're real [C] busy.
This has got you busy.
[Cm] You're not making a [Fm] dime, but you're busy.
_ [Cm] You say, what is it that you want?
[C] You got everything that [Cm] a woman could ever need in life.
[Fm] [G] Oh, that's [Cm] true.
The [C] pad is laid to the bone, [Eb] wall to wall, everything.
[Fm] I got a closet full of minks, [Cm] chinchillas.
[Fm] I [C] got a bureau [Cm] full of diamonds.
I can change four [Fm] times a day if I want to.
[Cm] But that's not it, baby, because I don't have [C] your love.
You [Eb] even went out and bought me a big [Fm] bad El Dorado [G] to see if that would [Cm] make up for it.
[C] But it didn't.
Now I'm going to move on [Eb] down the line, because I told you, [Fm] that's what's going on.
[Eb] _ [Cm] You're even [C] trying to eat lobster and [Cm] drink champagne.
Now, you know that ain't [Fm] your groove, because you're [Eb] strictly a collard [C] green cornbread baby.
Now, you know if anybody knows.
[Cm] _ [Fm] But since you feel like that [G] this evening, sit down and drink some champagne [C] with me
and let me rap to you.
[Eb] Because I know what I'm going [Fm] to say to you now, I could never say it [G] before, because
tomorrow I'd be sporting [C] two shinies.
[Eb] But I'm standing tall [Fm] now, baby, because I got my team [Cm] together at last. _
