[Intro]
| E | Bsus4 | E | Bsus4 |


[Verse]
  E               Bsus4
I left my home up in the hills
| E C#m |   F#m7    B7 | F#m7 B7 |
       Far behind me
  F#m7
I left my wife with unpaid bills
| F#m7 B7 |      | E Bsus4 | E |
         She can't find me
    E9
I'm trying out the world for size
E7
Find that it's not paradise
     A        D7
It's lonely - Oh, oh, oh


[Chorus]
        E/B
Now for twenty days and twenty nights
     Bsus4          B
I've been alone and that ain't right
| Bsus4 B |   E     | Bsus4 |
          Without her


[Verse]
E             Bsus4
City ways are strange to me
| E C#m |      F#m7    B7 | F#m7 B7 |
       I can't make it
    F#m7
For it's not like it ought to be
| F#m7 B7 |      | E Bsus4 | E |
         I can't take it
E9
Gotta face the truth one day
E7
Man can't always run away
     A         D7
From trouble - Oh, oh, oh


[Chorus]
            E/B
No, now for twenty days and twenty nights
     Bsus4           B
I've been a fool and that ain't right
| Bsus4 B |   E     | Csus4 C |
          Without her


[Verse]
    F                Csus4
For one day soon I'm going back
| Fmaj7 Dm |               Gm7      C7 | Gm7 C7 |
           Where she still minds me
    Gm7
And then out of line and off the track
| Gm7 C7 |         | F Csus4 | F |
       But that's behind me
  F9
I fooled around and did it well
    F7
But I just couldn't ring the bell
    Bb       Eb7
Without her, no


[Chorus]
           F/C
It's taken twenty days and twenty nights
   Csus4              C             | Csus4 C |
To prove me wrong and make her right
F/C
Twenty days and twenty nights
Csus4           C            | Csus4 C |
I was wrong and she was right


[Outro]
    | F | Csus4 |
All along
      | F | Csus4 |
Oh, I miss her
          | F | Csus4 |
Oh, how I miss her
          | F | Csus4 |
Oh, how I miss her
(repeat and fade)
