Lyrics

You’re in (Am)my world (Am)now, not (Am)your world,

and (Am)I got friends on the (E7)oth er (Am)side.

(CN.C.)(He’s got friends on the oth er side.)

Sit down at my (Am)ta ble,

put your mind at ease.

If you re (C7)lax, it will en (F7)a ble me to do an y (E)thing I please.

I can (E7)read your (Am)fu ture,

(Am)I can change it (E7)’round some (Am)too.

(E7)I’ll look (C7)deep in to your (F7)heart and soul make your (Am)wild est (E7)dreams come (Am)true.

I got voo doo, I got (Am)hoo doo, I got (D7)things (E7)I ain’t e ven (F7)tried.

And (Am)I got friends on the (E7)oth er (Am)side.

(He’s got friends on the oth er side.) The (Fm(maj7))cards, the cards, the cards will tell the (F7)past, the pres ent, and the (Am)fu ture as well.

The (Fm6)cards, the cards,

just take three:

(Am6)take a lit tle trip in to your (F7)fu ture with (E)me.

Now (C)you, young man, are from a (F)cross the sea.

You come from (Cdim7)two long lines of (C)roy al ty.

Your life style’s (Ab7)high, but your (C)funds are (D)low.

You need to (Am)mar ry a (Am)lit tle (F7)hon ey whose (E7)dad dy got (Am)dough.

It’s the (Am)green, it’s the green, it’s the (F7)green you need.

And when I (Am)looked in to your fu ture, it’s the (F7)green that (E)I (Am)seen.

(C)On you, lit tle (G)man, I don’t wan na (C)waste much (G)time; you been (C)pushed ’round (G7)all your (C7)life

You been (C)pushed ’round by your mother and your (Ddim)sister and your brother and (A7)if you was mar ried, you’d be (G)pushed ’round by your wife.

But (Am)in your (C)fu ture, the (D5)you (E7sus)I (F7)see is ex (E)act ly the man you al ways (F7)want ed (E)to (Am)be.

(Am)Yes!

Are you (Am)read y?

Are you read

(Am)y?

Trans for (E7)ma tion cen tral.

Re for (E7)ma tion cen tral.

Trans mod i fi (E7)ca tion (Am)cen tral.

Can you (E7)feel (Am)it?

You’re (Am)chang ing, you’re chang ing, you’re chang ing all right; I (G)hope you’re sat is (Am)fied.

But (Am)if you ain’t, (F7)don’t blame me!

You can (Am)blame my friends on the (E7)oth er (Am)side!

(You (E)got what you want ed...)

(...but you (E7)lost what you had.) (Am)Ooh,
