Somebody Stole My Gal
Words and Music by Leo Wood (1918)
(" * " = dim)
Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome and blue!
I've found out something I never knew.
I know now what it means to be sad,
For I've lost the best gal I ever had.
She only left yesterday,
Somebody stole her away....
| F | F Ab* | Gm7 | C7 |
Somebody stole my gal,
| C7 | Gm7 C7#5 | F | F |
Somebody stole my pal!
| D7 | D7 | G7 | G7 |
Somebody came and took her away,
| G7 | G7 | C7 | G7 C7#5 |
She didn't even say she was leavin'!
| F | F Ab* | Gm7 | C7 |
The kisses I love so,
| C7 | C7 Bb7 | A7 C7 |
He's getting now, I know...And...
| F | F | F7 |
Gee! I know that she
| F7 | Bb |
Would come to me
| Bb | Bbm |
If she could see,
| Bbm | F | F | G7 | G7 |
Her broken hearted lonesome pal,
| C7 | C7 | F | F |
Somebody stole my gal!
Angels they say are only above.
I know that's wrong because my old love,
Sure is an angel, take it from me,
And she's all the angel I want to see.
Maybe she'll come back some day,
All I can do now is pray....
(repeat chorus)
