(Intro chords)
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don~t get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Am
Go
      F
Yeah, go
But remember
C            Am
Good love is hard to find
C            Am
Good love is hard to find
        F
You got lucky, babe
        G
You got lucky, babe
             (Intro chords)
When I found you

(Intro chords)
You put an end on my tear
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don~t feel complete
If I don~t take you all of the way
     Am
Then go,
      F
Yeah, go,
But remember
C            Am
Good love is hard to find
C            Am
Good love is hard to find
        F
You got lucky, babe
        G
You got lucky, babe
             (Intro chords)
When I found you


The guitar solo is (during the intro chords):

   Am                    Dm     G         Am                 Dm      G

After this the song pretty much goes on through the intro chords, the final
Mike Campbell (sorta) solo is:

   Am                    Dm     G       Am                   Dm   G

E ------------------------------------|-----------------------------|

A -7~---------7~---5--3--5~-----------|-7~---------7~---------------|
E ------------------------------------|-----------------------------|


The song fades out on this and that is about it.
