Be Kind to Me ~ Michael Hurley
from "Armchair Boogie"
[Verse 1]
G
Told you once and I told you twice:
Why be mean when you can be nice?
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 2]

I hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘cause your love is what I need
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 3]
G
I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen,
the best old girl you ever seen
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 4]
G
I told you, child, when you were sixteen,
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 5]

A bull frog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arms
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 6]
G
I call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
The same chord progression repeats twice for the 'mouth trumpet'
solo. During the second progression the vocals return and the
song ends like this:
C G
Be kind to me!
D C
Can't you see I’m in mi-i---ser-er-er---ree-eeeeee-eeee?
end on G
