I don't know much about the Knight Brothers except that a) they weren't
related; b) neither of them was named Knight (one of them, Joe Diggs,
wrote this soul classic); and c) they made Sam and Dave sound like Chad
and Jeremy.  Oh, yes... play the choruses of this and 'The Cheater' back
to back.  --AWR

                      "Temptation 'Bout To Get Me"
                              (Joe Diggs)

Intro:

	Bm7                  Am7
	 /    /    /    /     /    /    /    /

	Bm7                  Am7  Bm7 Cmaj7 Am7/D
	 /    /    /    /     /    /    /    /

Verse 1:

	Gmaj7   Am7
	Another day's gone by
	Gmaj7      Am7
	Lord, and still I wait
	Gmaj7             Bm7
	You'll never know    how much
	      Am7     Bm7       Am7  Am7/D
	I've tried to keep  my faith       and good humor

	Gmaj7      Am7
	She don't write or phone
	Gmaj7             Am7
	Seems as if she's never comin' home
	Gmaj7           Bm7
	But if all  my faith
	          Am7
	Is almost gone
	       Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
	You'll hear me  cryin'

Chorus:

	Gmaj7                 Am7
	Temptation's 'bout to get me
	Gmaj7                 Am7
	Temptation's 'bout to get me
	Gmaj7                 Am7
	Temptation's 'bout to get me
	   (Am7)                    Em
	And all my faith will come tumblin' down

Verse 2:

	All my friends, they understand
	They feel the same as I do
	She's your love, you know
	Here very life is you

	Days go by, Lord, and I get weaker
	Said a heart that was strong gets a little weaker
	I know, somehow I know
	That if my little heart gets weaker
	You'll hear my cryin'

[repeat chorus]

Coda (repeat to fade):

	Gmaj7                 Am7
	Temptation's 'bout to get me
