Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA            E minorEm
A augmentedA woman came up to me and said
   A augmentedA            E minorEm
"I'd like to poison your mind
   A augmentedA             E minorEm
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
    A augmentedA        E minorEm
Though I am not unkind"
  A augmentedA             E minorEm
She looked at me, I looked at something
 A augmentedA            E minorEm
Written across her scalp
  A augmentedA                  E minorEm
And these are the words that it faintly said
   A augmentedA           A7A7
As I tried to call for help:

    D MajorD           E minorEm       A augmentedA
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
     B minorBm            G+G
And I've often been told that you only can do
     A augmentedA       D MajorD
What you know how to do well
       G+G   A augmentedA
And that's be you,
        G+G   A augmentedA
Be what you're like,
      G+G   E7E7
Be like yourself,
      A augmentedA         FF
And so I'm having a wonderful time
          C majorC          DmDm
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark
 Bb majorBb         C majorC
Whistling in the dark
 C majorC          DmDm
Whistling in the dark
 Bb majorBb         C majorC
Whistling in the dark
 C majorC         DmDm
Whistling in the dark
 Bb majorBb         C majorC
Whistling in the dark
     C majorC            DmDm
There's only one thing that I like
      Bb majorBb          C majorC
And that is whistling in the dark

 D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
ah ah ah ah
 D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
ah ah ah ah

 A augmentedA           E minorEm
A augmentedA man came up to me and said
   A augmentedA            E minorEm
"I'd like to change your mind
  A augmentedA              E minorEm
By hitting it with a rock," he said,
    A augmentedA         E minorEm
"Though I am not unkind."
  A augmentedA             E minorEm
We laughed at his little joke
      A augmentedA          E minorEm
And then I happily walked away
  A augmentedA               E minorEm
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
     A augmentedA           A7A7
Where the two of us live today.

    D MajorD           E minorEm       A augmentedA
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
     B minorBm           G+G
And I've often been told that you only can do
     A augmentedA       D MajorD
What you know how to do well
       G+G   A augmentedA
And that's be you,
        G+G   A augmentedA
Be what you're like,
       G+G   E7E7
Be like yourself,
       A augmentedA        FF
And so I'm having a wonderful time
          C majorC          DmDm
