  			This is a song by William Bell from his album "The Soul of a Bell."  
Subsequently, it was covered by the Byrds in a country version on 
"Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and by Otis Redding on "Otis Blue."  I can't 
connect to alt.music.byrds but if someone else wants to send it there, 
that's cool.

{First Verse} 
       Em                    G 
In the beginning, you really loved me 
          C                      G 
But I was blind, and I could not see 
             Em                C 
But when you left me, oh how I cried 
                    G 
You don't miss your water 
D                   G 
Till your well runs dry 
 
{Break} 
 
{Second Verse} 
I was a playboy, I could not be true 
I didn't believe, I really loved you 
But when you left me, oh how I cried 
You don't miss your water 
Till your well runs dry 
 
{Repeat First Verse}
