Intro: ( C C-G/C-F/C C C-G/B-F ) x2
F C/E Dm F - G
She kept the light open, all night long, for me to come home, and sing her my song
C Em C-Em-F C Em C-Em-F
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me, she'd wait by the window, so patiently
C Em C-Em-F C F - G
And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down, she'd pin it up, and softly smile
C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F
But I was out rolling, with my band, and I was out rolling, with my band
F C/E Dm F - G
I never realized, she was so undone, I didn't suspect she had no life of her own
C Em C-Em-F C Em C-Em-F
She was so true, but she was a she, she was just there, I would just come
C Em C-Em-F C F - G (harm)
Stumbling in, she'd show me she'd care, I didn't care, cause she was just there
C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F
But I was out rolling, with my band, and I was out rolling, with my band
Solo: ( C C-G/C-F/C C C-G/B-F ) x2
F C/E Dm F - G
I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time, she wouldn't accept that, she was free
C Em C-Em-F C Em C-Em-F
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me, she'd wait by the window so bitterly
F C/E Dm F - G
Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed, I couldn't see, so what could I say
C Em C-Em-F C Em C-Em-F
What more affection could I show her? I had only one thing, on my mind
C Em C-Em-F C F - G(harm)
When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair, and out past the fields out the window I'd stare
C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F C C-G/C -F/C-C -G/B-F
Where I was out rolling, with my band, I was out rolling, with my band
