Intro:  ( C  C-G/C-F/C  C C-G/B-F  ) x2

     F                   C/E                 Dm                    F    -      G
She kept the light open, all night long, for me to come home, and sing her my song
    C        Em              C-Em-F        C           Em               C-Em-F
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me,    she'd wait by the window, so patiently
     C           Em                       C-Em-F  C                    F   -   G
And I'd come on home with my hair hanging down,  she'd pin it up, and softly smile
    C                 C-G/C    -F/C-C  -G/B-F    C                 C-G/C    -F/C-C -G/B-F
But I was out rolling, with my band,         and I was out rolling, with my band

   F                      C/E           Dm                        F    -      G
I never realized, she was so undone, I didn't suspect she had no life of her own
 C          Em                 C-Em-F   C             Em                C-Em-F
She was so true, but she was a she,    she was just there, I would just come
  C       Em                      C-Em-F  C                     F     -       G (harm)
Stumbling in, she'd show me she'd care,   I didn't care, cause she was just there
    C                 C-G/C    -F/C-C  -G/B-F    C                 C-G/C    -F/C-C -G/B-F
But I was out rolling, with my band,         and I was out rolling, with my band

Solo:  ( C  C-G/C-F/C  C C-G/B-F  ) x2

    F                     C/E                   Dm                   F  -    G
I wouldn't come home for weeks at a time, she wouldn't accept that, she was free
    C        Em              C-Em-F        C           Em              C-Em-F
Oh Debbie Denise was true to me,    she'd wait by the window so bitterly

 F                       C/E                Dm                    F    -      G
Wanting me to come close, I guess I noticed, I couldn't see, so what could I say
 C          Em                   C-Em-F    C       Em                C-Em-F
What more affection could I show her?   I had only one thing, on my mind
     C         Em                     C-Em-F      C                           F     -     G(harm)
When I come to her, she'd pin back my hair,  and out past the fields out the window I'd stare
      C                 C-G/C    -F/C-C  -G/B-F   C                C-G/C     -F/C-C -G/B-F
Where I was out rolling, with my band,            I was out rolling, with my band
