[Verse 1]

D/E
Have you seen
    Amaj7          C/D     Gmaj7
The ladies passing by?
D/E               Amaj7
They don't seem to notice
    C/D     D/E         Gmaj7
That I'm lonesome and I cry
D/E              Amaj7
But soon they'll listen
      D7sus4             Gmaj7
I can tell you, tell you why
D/E          Amaj7
Gonna make a record
 C/D          Gmaj7
Gonna go sky high

[Chorus]

Bm7            Amaj7    D/E
  I just wanna be       closer to you
Bm7            Amaj7       D/E
  I just wanna see      if you can be moved
Bm7        Amaj7         D/E
  I don't wanna be a fool for you
    F#m9
Or be alone

[Verse 2]

D/E          Amaj7
Going to the city
        C/D         Gmaj7
All the hustlers in the street
D/E        Amaj7
Can't you imagine where
    D7sus4                   Gmaj7
This country boy's head might be
D/E               Amaj7
Bright lights are shining
 D7sus4               Gma7
I can see in front of me at night
D/E          Amaj7
Clockwork deception
  C/D              Gmaj7
Won't save or set us free

[Chorus]

Bm7            Amaj7    D/E
  I just wanna be       closer to you
Bm7            Amaj7       D/E
  I just wanna see      if you can be moved
Bm7        Amaj7         D/E
  I don't wanna be a fool for you
    F#m9
Or be alone

[Verse 3]

D/E            Amaj7
Gonna tour the country
      C/D              Gmaj7
Gonna play for all my friends
D/E             Amaj7
Such a positive action
          D/E        Gmaj7
I've got energy to lend
   D/E        Amaj7
So come on down, we're cookin'
        C/D    D7sus4  Gmaj7
Let the rhythm get you high
 D/E          Amaj7
Bring all the ladies
C/D       D7sus4    Gmaj7
Tell them why, why, why
