Verse 1
D 
Some girls lose their boys after years 
A                           D
Some lose them right at the start
D                                                     
Standing in line it's a question of time whose gonna 
E                  A
Be the next broken heart
    G                      D                                                                      
But my heart belonged to a love so strong 
  G                                D
I would love him to the day that I die
      D                                       A             D
But I didn't lose my love to the Lord above I lost him to a DIY

Chorus
Bm                         D 
D she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
Bm                              A 
I if you're idle in love she'll steal him from the very first dance
Bm                             D
Y she was young and pretty and young and pretty's better than I 
N.C.                                                                          D
We give em all kisses now they've found another missus cos we lost em to a DIY

Verse 2
D                                              
Some women feel if you put around a seal it'll 
A                    D
Keep your fella outa reach
D                                                           
But it ain't always so they can grab em from below thats a 
E                      A
Lesson every woman can teach
    G                   D                           
But my man was just the sort you can trust 
          G                         D 
You could look a fella right in the eye
N.C.                                                                           D
But it wasn't for deceiving for suddenly he was leaving and I lost him to a DIY

Chorus
Bm                         D 
D she was so determined to take him right out of my hands
Bm                              A 
I if you're idle in love she'll steal him from the very first dance
Bm                             D
Y she was young and pretty and young and pretty's better than I 
N.C.                                                                   D
We give em all kisses now they've found another missus cos we lost em to a DIY

Bridge
N.C.        A                               D
L A D I E S come on girls if shes wearing a dress
