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

[G(7)] ^ [D(5)] ^ [G/D]^ [D]
-> I've always played this as a G/D chord ( - - 0 4 3 3)

---------> Note: non-standard nomenclature that is used below

Love the One You're With - Stills

Intro: G(7) D(5) G/D D (repeat)

[D]When you're [G(7)D(5)]down, and con[G/D]fused,[D]
and you don't re[G(7)]member[D(5)] who you're talking [G/D]to,[D]
concen[G(7)]tration[D(5)], slips a[G/D]way,[D]
because your [G(7)D(5)]baby, is so far a[G/D]way.[D]

Chorus 1:

Bm A G CGCG (see note 1)
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove,
And the [Bm]eagle flie[A]s with the [G]dove,[CGCG]
and if you [Bm]can't b[A]e with the one you [G]love, honey,
[G]love the one you're [D]with,
[G]love the one you're [D]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:
Chorus 2: (see note 2)

[G]Do [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [A]doot [A]doot

[G]Do [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [A]doot [A]doot

[A]Do [A]do [A]doot, [A]Do [A]do [A]doot

Chorus 1: (No words, organ lead part)

Verse 3:
Turn your heart-ache, right into joy,
she's a girl, and you're a boy,
get it together, make it nice,
you ain't gonna need, any more advice.

Chorus 1:
Chorus 2: (see note 2)

[G]Do [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [A]doot [A]doot

[G]Do [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [G]doot [F#]doot [A]doot [A]doot

[A]Do [A]do [A]doot, [A]Do [A]do [A]doot

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:

If you're down [F] [C] and confused...[Dm][C]

There's a [Am]rose [G] in a fisted g[F]love...

Love the one you're w[C]ith[F][C]

Love the one you're w[Dm]ith[C]

[Bb] [C]

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

-[C]4 -[G]2 -[C]2 [G]0 +[C]1 [E]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

Why do we [Ebdim]never [Dm]get an a[C]nswer

where Ebdim 000232 (that's right, the same fingering as D in standard)
Dm 002001
C 000000
