------------------------------......................

*Released 1969*


Intro:

E  A  C, Dm  G

Chorus 1:

C                   D
 Put yourself in my place,
E              Am
 If only for a day.
       Dm
See if you can stand,
          G7
The awful hurt,
          C     Bb  G
I feel in-side.

C                   D
 Put yourself in my place,
E              Am
 Just a little while.
                 Dm
Live through the loneliness,
            G7
The endless emptiness,
     C        E  A7
I go through.

Verse 1:

             F
And when you lose,
A little sleep at night,
C
 'Cos you ain't been,
Treated right.
Then you know,
               E   A7
Heartaches are sad.

F
 Sitting by the telephone,
C
 Being left all alone,
Dm
 Then you know why,
    C            Bb  G
I'm feeling bad.

Interlude:

C                   D
 Put yourself in my place.

E  Am, Dm  G7, C, Bb  G

Verse 2:

                F
And when you're just,
About to go insane,
C
 'Cos it hurts,
To love in vain.
Ask a guy who's,
        E     A7
Been in love.

F
 I believed,
Your evil line,
C
 Now I'm left,
Alone and crying
Dm
 Alone to count,
    C            Bb  G
The stars above.

Chorus 2:

C                   D      E  Am,
 Put yourself in my place,
              Dm
Why don't you try it?
            G7
Come on and try it,
            C
Come on and try it, baby,
Bb    G
 Baby try it.

Chorus 3:

C                   D      E  Am
 Put yourself in my place,
            Dm
Come on and try it,
            G7
Come on and try it,
            C
Come on and try it, baby,
Bb    G
 Baby try it.
