lyrics from reprint of 1967 sheet music
G D
Hey, hey mercy woman
Em7
Plays a song and no one listens
G D7 G
I need help, I'm falling again
D
Play the drum a little louder
Em
Tell me I can live without her
G D7 G
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band!
(instrumental - D7 Am Em7)
B7
Weren't they good, they made my happy
Bb7 A7
I think I can make it alone.
G D
Hey, hey mercy woman
Em7
Plays a song and no one listens
G D7 G
I need help, I'm falling again
D
Play the drum a little louder
Em
Tell them they can live without her
G D7 G
If they only listen to the band
Listen to the band!
(instrumental - D7 Am Em7)

Now that we have listened to the band
