[Intro]:
E, A, B x4
[Verse 1]:
[B] I like to[F#] think about the[B] time I [F#]met you,
[B]Living with your [F#]people down in [B]New Orlea[F#]ns.
[B] Mad at your [F#]mama cause she'd [B]never l[F#]et you,
[B]Ride in no [F#]nasty [B]limousine.
[Pre-Chorus]:
[E]Later on the levee with the [G#m]moon up above,
[E] I lost my heart and [F#]confessed my love,
[Chorus]:
[E]Oh now Lucy, said, [B]God have mercy, I've [F#]got to stop thinkin' 'bout [B]that, somehow.

[Verse 2]:
[B] One Summer [F#]night in a [B]field of [F#]wheat,
[B] God's sweet [F#]lanterns hanging [B]in the s[F#]ky.
[B] Moving [F#]light on your [B]tiny fe[F#]et,
I [B]knew I had to [F#]love you till the [B]day I die.
[Pre-Chorus]:
[E]They talk about Am[G#m]azing Grace,
[E] it meant something when I [F#]saw your face.
[Chorus]:
[E]Oh now Lucy, said, [B]God have mercy, I've [F#]got to stop thinkin' 'bout [B]that
[E]Oh, [B]Lucy said, I [F#]can't stop thinkin' bout [B]you.
[Bridge]:
I think of [Eb]all the little things that I never told you,
[B] I think I may get to hold you someday.
[Eb] It's my brain just like a man possessed,
I can't [E]do me no work, I can't [F#]get me no rest,
[Break]:
I can't [E]understand it [A]baby.[B]
E, A, B x3
[Verse 3]:
[B] Don't like to [F#]think about the [B]way it e[F#]nded,
[B] I hate re[F#]membering the [B]things that I [F#]said.
[B] I dream a [F#]dream of [B]love so sp[F#]lendid,
[B] I wake up [F#]hard in an [B]empty bed.
[Pre-Chorus]:
[E]I wonder who'll be [G#m]loving you next,
[E] Some fool will be [F#]writing bad checks.
[Chorus]:
[E]Oh now Lucy, said, [B]God have mercy, I've [F#]got to stop thinkin' 'bout [B]you
[E]Somehow baby, [B]Lord have mercy, I've [F#]got to stop thinkin' 'bout [B]that
