How can you tell?

Intro]

(Heavy electric guitar riff with a distorted tone, accompanied by a walking bassline and a steady "thump-snap" on the drums)

(Guitar stops for the first line, then kicks back in)

Well, you looked at me this mornin’, with a twinkle in your eye

You said, "I can tell you miss me," and I didn't even try to lie

I asked you, "Baby, how can you tell?"

You just smiled and said, "You want to see me, and you know it mighty well."

Oh, you’re right, my darlin', I’m lonesome through and through

Yes, I do miss you, and I want to see you too

You’re lookin' beautiful as always, my sweet love

Like a bright star shinin' from the heavens above

(Harmonica solo for 8 bars, then back to the lyrics)

You looked at me so soft, and you whispered, "Thank you, baby"

I said, "You’re welcome, my love," and I don't mean maybe

I’ve got the blues when we’re apart, but honey, you’re the cure

When I see that pretty face, I’m feelin' fine for sure

(Twelve bars of stinging, slow-burn blues guitar notes)

I said, "You’re welcome, my love"... (Guitar riff)

Yeah, you’re welcome, my love"... (Piano trill)

You know I miss you...

How can you tell?

(Final crashing chord on the E7)
