This is a song by William Bell from his album "The Soul of a Bell." 

Subsequently, it was covered by the Byrds in a country version on

"Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and by Otis Redding on "Otis Blue."  I can't

connect to alt.music.byrds but if someone else wants to send it there,

that's cool. 



[Intro]

G C G



[First Verse]

       Em                    G

In the beginning, you really loved me

          C                      G

But I was blind, and I could not see

             Em                C

But when you left me, oh how I cried

                    G

You don't miss your water

D                   G

Till your well runs dry



[Break]



[Second Verse]

I was a playboy, I could not be true

I didn't believe, I really loved you

But when you left me, oh how I cried

You don't miss your water

Till your well runs dry



[Repeat First Verse]
