Here are the words (from memory) and chords.
(Note that I'm not certain of the placement of the two choruses.)

Love the One You're With - Stills
Intro: G(7) D(5) G/D D (repeat)
DG(7)D(5)G/DD
When you're down, and confused,
G(7)D(5)G/DD
and you don't remember who you're talking to,
G(7)D(5)G/DD
concentration, slips away,
G(7)D(5)G/DD
because your baby, is so far away.
Chorus 1:
Bm A G CGCG (see note 1)
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove,
BmAGCGCG
And the eagle flies with the dove,
BmAG
and if you can't be with the one you love, honey,
GD
love the one you're with,
GD
love the one you're with.
Verse 2:
Don't be angry, don't be sad,
and don't sit crying, over good times you've had,
There's a girl, right next to you
and she's just waiting, for something to do.
Chorus 1:

you ain't gonna need, any more advice.

Note 1: Play the G chord barred (3 5 5 4 3 3), then play the C chord
(- 3 5 5 5 -) for the transition CGC you stum the chords once each
Note 2: The chords are strummed 1 time per "doot" (or "do")

In article you write:
>Nevada only has "southern cross", perhaps someone could post the chords
>(unless TAB is necessary) to this song...
Hi again...
The basic chord progression is:
FCDmC
If you're down and confused...
AmGF
There's a rose in a fisted glove...
CFC
Love the one you're with
DmC
Love the one you're with
BbC
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...
The acoustic guitar is actually played in open C tuning, and the lower
strings form sort of a drone throughout. Low to high, the tuning is
CGCGCE -4 -2 -2 0 +1 0 (deviation from standard)
and the basic riff is then
005555 004003 002001 000000
Don't ask me how to play the Am-G-F part or the Bb-C in that tuning, though...
Andrew
PS: Incidentally, the Moody Blues' "Question" is also in open C, and uses
the *exact* same pattern under the "it's not the way that you say it" part.
Try it! The verses go
EbdimDmC
Why do we never get an answer
where Ebdim = 000232 (that's right, the same fingering as D in standard)
Dm = 002001
C = 000000
