All you f[F]ellows, gather 'ro[F]und me[Ab][Bb][Ab][F]
And let me g[F]ive you some good adv[F]ice[Ab][Bb][Ab][F]
What I'm g[F]onna, gonna a[F]sk you [Ab]now[Bb][Ab][F]
You better th[F]ink about it tw[F]ice[Ab][Bb][Ab][F]
While you're [Dm]lying, cheating on your w[Am]oman
There is s[Gm]omething you never ever th[Bb]ought of, [C] now tell me

Chorus:

W[F]ho's making love to y[F]our old [Ab]lady[Bb][Ab][F]
W[F]hile you were out making lo[F]ve [1: [Ab]hear[Bb] me [Ab]now][F]

F F Ab Bb Ab [1: C 2, 3: F]
While you were out making love

Verse 2:

I've seen so, so many fellows
Fall in that same old bag
Thinking that a woman is made to
To be beat on and treated so bad
Oh, fellows, let me ask you something
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, now tell me

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

I k[F]now there are some women [Ab/F]guilty of this too
[Bb/F]I'm not tryin' to run your life, the c[Ab/F]hoice is up to you

[C] [Db] [Ab] [Eb][C]
Oh, y[/]ou[/] [/] o[/]h! o[/]h,[/] y[/]ou[/], yo[/]u [/]yo[/]u[/][/][/][/][/]

Verse 3:

The reason why I ask this question
I used to be the same old way
When I decided to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late
Oh, yeah, that's when it all happened
Something I never, never dreamed of

Chorus 3:

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

Coda [repeat to fade]:

F F Ab Bb Ab F [continue]
Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
(Who? Who? Your old lady)
(While you were out making love)
