(Gmaj7)Some times late when things are (Cmaj7)real and peo ple share the (Gmaj7)gift of gab be tween them selves,

(Gmaj7)some are quick to take the (Cmaj7)bait and catch the per fect (Gmaj7)prize that waits a mong the (Cmaj7)shelves.

But (Am9)Oz nev er did give noth ing to the (Gmaj7)Tin Man

that he (Am9)did n’t, did n’t al read y have.

And (Am9)cause nev er was the rea son for the (Gmaj7)eve ning

or the (Am9)Trop ic of Sir Gal a had.

So (C)please

when I (Gmaj7)say I’m spin ning ’round, ’round, ’round, ’round; (Cmaj7)smoke glass stain bright col or.

(Gmaj7)Im age go ing down, down, down, down; (Cmaj7)soap sud green like bub bles.

Oh, (D)me.
