[Verse 1]
Am           Am            Am   
What you do, what you say, has a
                      E
 lot to do in how you live today.
E                 E              
What you want and what you make, 
E                         Am
everybody knows it's only what you 
take.
Am               Am             
What you see and what you hear, 
Am                              E
when it comes around again it's not 
too clear.
E            E         
You say yes, they say no, 
   E                        Am
everybody's talking everywhere you 
go.

[Chorus]
    Dm                       
You try to give another man a 
 G
helping hand,
    C                              
and he will take your kindness for 
  Am
a weaker stand.
Dm                           G
Never do to others what they do to 
you,
C                          Esus4   
E7      N.C.
try to find another way to make it 
through.

[Verse 2]
Am            Am           Am   
What I say is what I know, try 
                          E
to get a favour going from door to 
door.
    E                   E    
You stop and pray, it's out of 
               E                   
style, you a step ahead, it takes a
   Am
 hundred miles.
Am            Am           Am   
What I say is what I know, try 
                          E
to get a favour going from door to 
door.
    E                              
You stop and pray, you know that's 
E             E                  
out of style, get a step ahead, 
          Am
it takes a hundred miles.

[Chorus]
         Dm                        
Now, you try to give another man a 
G
helping hand,
C                                
he will take your kindness for a 
Am
weaker stand.
Dm                           G
Never do to others what they do to 
you,
              C                     
    Esus4    E7      N.C.
you've got to do it to them before 
they do it to you.

when it comes around again it's 
  E
not gonna be the same thing.
        E                         
Because you're gonna say yes, and 
E
they're gonna say no
    E                              
and everybody's gonna talk and talk
     Am
 and bla bla everywhere you go

    Am              Am
You try to give another man a 
helping hand, you know what he's 
gonna do?
           Am                      
He's gonna take your kindness for a
        E
 weaker stand
    E                              
You try to do for others what you'd
 E
 like them to do to you
E                         Am
Ah! ah! forget it! It's gonna be 
some other kind thing!

Am              Am
So you try to give another man, ah! 
listen, a helping hand?
Am                         E
He will take your kindness for a 
weaker stand!
E                 E              
Never do to others what they do 
E                         Am
to you
