Biography:
William Daron Pulliam (October 5, 1946 – June 9, 2013), who performed in the 1970s under the name Darondo, was a funk and soul singer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Although he is not widely recognized today, serious enthusiasts of the soul genre consistently rate him in high regard. The mythology surrounding Darondo describes him as a pimp, although he has denied this claim. His performing name is said to have originated as a compliment from a waitress who was fond of his generous tipping habits.

Do-do-do-do-dooooooo
Badadadadadadadooooo
Bb Am Gm
Didn’t I treat you right now? (Didn’t I?)
Bb Am Gm
Didn’t I do the best I could? (Didn’t I?)
Bb Am Gm
Didn’t I give you everything? (Didn’t I?)
Bb Am Gm
I tried my best just to be a man. (Didn’t I?)
F Bb
Didn’t I do it baby?
F Bb

F Bb
Why you wanna leave me baby?
F Bb

and back again
F Gm Am Bb
Didn’t I (Didn’t I)
F Gm Am Bb
Didn’t I (Didn’t I)
Bb Am Gm (cut time)
There’s something wrong with you
Tell me
Baby are your troubles dead?
You look back
You should be glad
Don’t be mad
I must be glad
And sit down
And let me kiss your lovely mouth
F Bb
Didn’t I do it baby?
Didn’t I do right?
Why you wanna leave me baby?
They say I didn’t treat you right
Bb Am Gm (cut time)
So much to mean to me
That you don’t know
Talk to me
What it is
That you’ve done
To make me
---The End---
Notes:
-In the interest of time, I just put the chord progressions at the top of lines when
they repeated a previous pattern.
-I usually just play power chords without the low E string to make it sound a little
higher and funkier.
-When playing the “F – Bb” progression, I usually F – Bb – Bb9 by playing the 8th fret
on the high e string with my pinky after strumming the Bb tonic chord for a few bars.
It’s just something to add on to make it sound more interesting.
-The song just kind of trails off at the end. I didn’t catch all of the words perfectly.
