C majorC    C/Bb   Am7Am7 C/G# G/DG/D    G/F    G/EG/E   G/Eb
Who's the one that I adore, though he beats me to the floor

C majorC     C/Bb   Am7Am7   C/G#   G/DG/D    G/F    G/EG/E   G/Eb
Who's the one that knows the tricks, when I'm wrong he gives me kicks

  G/DG/D    G+G  G/DG/D  G+G   C majorC    G+G F#F#       F#F#

If you wanna meet him in the promised land

C majorC    C/Bb   Am7Am7   C/G#
Look oh yeah it's gettin' late


G/DG/D    G/F    G/EG/E   G/Eb
Bet he's waiting at the gate
