VERSE 1:                              
          C/G                                   Em
Oh! when, you go out with,  another guy, how it hurts my pride,
     C/G                                             Em
Oh!  you'll never know how it, hurts me so, way down deep inside.
F                     Em   
I feel so bad,  but,  I don't feel mad,
F                 D
What can I do,  I love only you.


CHORUS 1:
          C/G                      Am
And so I, swallowed up, swallowed, swallowed my pride, 
    C/G           Am                           F      F# - G
And kept it, yes, kept it inside, because I've heard.
NC                          C/G
That pride is such a little word.


VERSE 3:
C/G                                        Em
I took you out just the other night,  to a movie show,
    C/G                                              Em
Oh! Right at the end you saw a friend and said you'd have to go.
F                   Em
You walked away and left me alone, 
F                         D
What could I say, when he walked you home.


CHORUS 2:
           C/G                  Am
I had to,  swallow up, swallow, swallow my pride, 
    C/G           Am                           F      F# - G     
And kept it, yes, kept it inside, because I've heard,
NC                          C/G
That pride is such a little word.

    C/G                                                       Em
Oh! I'm sure you'll find that, we'll love in time look around I'll be there.
    F              Em                   
The day will come, we'll be as one,

And I'll go to her, but until then.

And kept it, yes, kept it inside, because I've heard.

That pride is such a little word.

That pride is such a little word.

Notes.
1. Technically, Ray was perhaps not quite as strong a singer as some of his 
contemporaries (but measured against voices like Billy Thorpe, Max Merritt, Normie 
Rowe and Tony Worsley, that's no criticism) but he had a smooth, pleasing and 
instantly recognisable tenor voice with a particularly emotive upper register, 
which he used to great effect on hits like "Pride" and "Fool Fool Fool".
