Chords with lyrics
Words & music by Paul Simon 1972
|E MajorE |
I got some so-called friends
|E7E7 |
They'll smile right to my face
|A augmentedA |
Oh, when my back is turned
|E MajorE
They'd like to stick it to me
|
Yes they would
| | | |
Oh no no, oh no no
|A augmentedA |E MajorE C# minorC#m
There's only one thing I need to know
|F#7F#7 B7B7 |E MajorE |
Whose side are you on?
|E MajorE |
I fly into J.F.K.
|E7E7 |
My heart goes boom boom boom
|A augmentedA |
I know that customs man
|E MajorE
He's going to take me
|
To that little room
| | | |
Oh no no. Oh no, no
|A augmentedA |E MajorE C# minorC#m
There's only one thing I need to know
|F#7F#7 B7B7 |E MajorE
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?
|A augmentedA
I got the paranoia blues
| |E MajorE |
Fnom knockin' around in New York City
|A augmentedA
Where they roll you for a nickel
| |A augmentedA | |
And they stick you for the extra dime
A augmentedA
Anyway you choose
| |E MajorE
You're bound to lose in New York City
|A augmentedA B7B7 |E MajorE
Oh, I just got out in the nick of time
|A augmentedA B7B7 |E MajorE |
Well, I just got out in the nick of time
|E MajorE |
Once I was down in Chinatown
|E7E7 |
I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon
|A augmentedA |
I happened to turn around
|E MajorE
And when I looked I see
|
My Chow Fon's gone
| | | |
Oh no, no, Oh no, no
|A augmentedA |E MajorE C# minorC#m
There's only one thing I need to know
|F#F# B7B7 |E MajorE |
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?
| B7B7 |E MajorE A augmentedA
Well, there's only one thing I need to know
|F#F# B7B7 |E MajorE | |
