I'LL BE DOGGONE
written by Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore, and Marv Tarplin
performed by Marvin Gaye
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo 

(8 measures of A)

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day (baby)
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay (baby)
                         D
But if I ever caught you runnin' around
Bm                   E7
Blowin' my money all over this town
       A
Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Then I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Verse 2:
I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing (baby)
I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring (baby)
If we live to be 100 years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn't be doggone, hey hey, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Wo, I wouldn't be doggone, baby, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)

Bridge:
            F#m
Well, every woman should try to be
Whatever her man wants her to be
  Bm
I don't want much, all I ask of you
       E7
Is for you to be true to me

Verse 3:
I'll be doggone if a girl ain't a man's best friend (baby)
I'll be doggone if you ain't on the lovin' end (baby)
I know you make me feel like nobody could
But if I ever found out that you're no good
Then I wouldn't be doggone, baby, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Wo, I wouldn't be doggone, I'd be long gone (I'd be long gone)
Wo, I wouldn't be doggone
...and fade
