Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Novice

Chorus:
D
Whatever you say, say nothing
D                   A
When you talk about you know what
D
For if you know who could hear you
E
You know what you'd get
G                       D
For they'd take you off to you know where
D

For you wouldn't know how long
D
So for you know who's sake
D                A                     D
Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

Verse:
D
And you all know what I'm speaking of
D                   A
When I mention you know what
D
And I think it's very dangerous to
E
even mention that
G                      D
For the other ones are always near
D
Although you may not see
D
And if anyone asks who told you that
A                    D
Please don't mention me

Chorus:
D
Whatever you say, say nothing
D                   A
When you talk about you know what
D
For if you know who could hear you
E
You know what you'd get
G                       D
For they'd take you off to you know where
D
For you wouldn't know how long
D
So for you know who's sake
D                A                     D
Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

Verse:
D
And you all know who I'm speaking of
D                   A
When I mention you know who
D
And if you know who could hear me
D        E
You know what he'd do
G                   D
So if you don't see me around
D
You'll know why I'm away
D
And if anyone asks you where I've gone
A               D
Here's what you must say

Chorus:
D
Whatever you say, say nothing
D                   A
When you talk about you know what
D
For if you know who could hear you
E
You know what you'd get
G                       D
For they'd take you off to you know where
D
For you wouldn't know how long
D
So for you know who's sake
D                A                     D
Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

Verse:
D
Well that's enough about so and so
D                   A
Not to mention such and such
D
I think I'll end my song now
D                 E
Sure I've already said too much
G                     D
For the less you say, the less you hear
D
And the less you'll go astray
D
And the less you think, the less you do
A                             D
And the more you'll hear them say

Chorus:
D
Whatever you say, say nothing
D                   A
When you talk about you know what
D
For if you know who could hear you
E
You know what you'd get
G                       D
For they'd take you off to you know where
D
For you wouldn't know how long
D
So for you know who's sake
D                A                     D
Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

D
So for you know who's sake
D                A                     D
