SURPRISE, SURPRISE (SWEET BIRD OF PARADOX) Words and Music by JOHN LENNON From the 1974 album "Walls and Bridges" D7 RIFF : E|-----------------| B|-----------------| G|-----------0-----| D|-------0-2---2-0-| A|---1/2-----------| E|-3---------------| [D7] Sweet as the smell of success, [G] her body's warm and wet. [Em] She [D7]gets me thru this God awful loneliness, [G] a nat'ral high butterfly[Em]. Oh, I, I need[C6 G], [Am]need her. [D7 RIFF] [D7] Just like a willow tree, [G] a breath of spring you see. [Em] And, oh boy[D7], you don't know what she do to me, [G] she makes me sweat and forget who I [Em]am. I [C6]need, [G]need, [Am]need, [G]need[F7] her. Well I was [C]wond'ring how long[F E7] this could [Am]go on, on and [D7]on. Well I [G]thought I could [Em]never be surprised[D7sus4], [D7] But could it [C]be that I[F E7] bit my [Am]own tongue. [D7] [G]It's so hard to [Em]swallow when you're wrong[D7sus4 D7]. [D7 RIFF] [D7] A bird of paradise, [G] the sunrise in her eyes. [Em] [D7]God only knows such a sweet surprise, [G] I was blind, she blew my mind[Em]. Think that I, I love[C6], [G]love, [Am]love, [G]love, [F7]love her. I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her. [F7] Repeat and fade.
