-----------.............
 
*Released 1961*
 
 
[Intro]
 
G  Em (x2)
 
[Chorus]
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;
G               D7                 G       D7
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me, for me.
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly;
G               D7                 C    G
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me...
 
[Verse]
 
     G                               D7
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress;
                                   G
There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness.
                              C
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist;
D7                G
 And this you can fix. So...
 
[Chorus]
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;
G               D7                 G       D7
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me, for me.
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly;
G               D7                 C    G
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me...
 
[Verse]
 
     G                              D7
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes her love strong for me,
                                G
I promise I will love her until eternity.
                                   C
I know, between the two of us, her heart we can steal;
D7              G
 Help me if you will. So...
 
[Chorus]
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;
G               D7                 G       D7
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me, for me.
 
G       Em                 G        C
 Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly;
G               D7                 C    G
 Straight to my lover's heart, for me... Now...
 
Coda:
 
G                 Em       G              Em
 Cupid, don't you hear me, calling you? I need you.
G       Em         G         Em           G        Em
 Cupid, help me, I need you, Cupid, don't fail me...

^^^^^^^^^WRONG^^^^^^^^^ Ignore this. The tab is spot on. If you want/like to add your flair then call it that and not a correction.
