PART TIME LOVER
By Stevie Wonder
Key: Bbm

-6  -5*   4*   -3*   -6 -5*  4*  -3*
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone.
-6 -5* 4*  -3* -6   -5* 4*  -3*
To let me know you made it home.
-3*    -2   -3* -2 -3* 4    4*
Don't want noth-ing to be wrong 
-3*   4    3*   3*-3*
with part-time lov-er.

-6  -5*   4* -3*  -6   -5*   4*  -3*
If she's with me I'll blink the lights.
-6 -5*  4*  -3* -6  -5*     4*  -3*
To let you know to-night’s the night.
-2 -3*  4   4*-3*  4   3*-2  3*-3* 
For me and you my part-time lov-er.

-6* 7*-7*  7* -7* 7* -7*  -7*  7* -6*  7*
We are un-der-cov-er pas-sions on the run,
-6*   7*  -7*-7*-6*  7*   -7* 88*8-7*
Chas-ing love up a-gainst the   sun.
-6* 7*  -7*   -7*-7* -7*  -7*  7*-6* 7*-6-6
We are strang-ers by day, lov-ers by night.
7*   -6* -6* -7*  -7*   
Know-ing it's so wrong, 
5*  -7*   7*  8   8
but feel-ing so right.

-6 -5*  4*    -3*   -6 -5*   4*   -3*
If I'm with friends and we should meet.
-6   -5*  4*-3*   -6  -5* 4*  -3*  
Just pass me by, don't e-ven speak.
-3*  -2   -3*  -2-3*4  4*   
Know the word's "dis-creet" 
-3*   4   3*-2  3* -3*
when part-time lov-ers.

-6 -5*   4*    -3* -6 -5* 4* -3* 
But if there's some e-mer-gen-cy.
-6  -5* 4*   -3*   -6 -5* 4* -3*
Have a male friend to ask for me.
-2  -3* -3*   4    4*   -3*   4*  4*  4
So then she won't peek, it’s real-ly you
-3* 4   3*-2 3* -3*
My part-time lov-er.

-6* 7*-7*  7* -7* 7* -7*  -7*  7* -6*  7*
We are un-der-cov-er pas-sions on the run,
-6*   7*  -7*-7*-6*  7*   -7* 88*8-7*
Chas-ing love up a-gainst the   sun.
-6* 7*  -7*   -7*-7* -7*  -7*  7*-6* 7*-6-6
We are strang-ers by day, lov-ers by night.
7*   -6* -6* -7*  -7*   
Know-ing it's so wrong, 
5*  -7*   7*  8   8
but feel-ing so right.

   -3*-3*-3*-3* 4* 4 -3* 3*
Oh, Da da da da da da da da  
-3*-3*3*-3*-3* 4* 4 -3* 3*
Da da da da da da da da da  
3*-3* 3* 3* 3* 4* 4 -3* 3* 3*-3*-3*
Do do do do do ba da da da da da da

-6   -5*   4*   -3*  -6 -5*  4*   -3*
I've got some-thing that I should tell.
-6    -5*   4*  -3*  -6  -5*  4*  -3*
Last night some-one rang our door-bell.
-3* -2 -3*-2 -3*4 4* -3*  4   3*-2 3* -3*    
And it  was  not you, my part-time lov-er.

-6   -5* 4*-3*   -6   -5* 4*  -3*
And then a man called our ex-change.
-6  -5*  4* -3*  -6  -5*   4* -3*
But did-n’t want to leave his name.
-2 -2    -2  -3* -3*  4    4   4*
I guess that two can play the game 
-3*  4  3*-2  3* -3*
of part-time lov-ers.

-3*  4  4*   4   3*-2  3* -3*
You and me, part time lov-ers
-3* -3*  4  4*   4   3*-2  3* -3*
But she and he, part time lov-ers 

3*-3*-3*-3* 4* 4 -3* 3* 
Do do do da da da da da 
3*-3* 3*-3*-3* 4* 4 -3* 3* 
da da da ba ba da da da da
3*-3* 3* 3* 3* 4* 4 -3* 3* 3*-3*-3* 
da da da da da da da da da da da da 



Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
