[Verse 1]
C        C7       F        D9/F#
Hey everybody wherever you are
              C          C7       
They've got a new way of talking 
        F        D9/F#
and it's gonna go far
             C              C7     
You take the letters in the words, 
F             D9/F#
turn 'em all around
        C        C7        F     
Say the last one first and check 
        D9/F#
out the sound

[Chorus]
     Am         G  F  E
Talk Backwards

Am  G  F  E

[Verse 2]
  C                C7             
I know what you're thinking, it 
   F      D9/F#
sure sounds strange
           C          C7          
You talked forward so long that 
   F       D9/F#
it's hard to change
         C         C7              
But it's just like metric once you 
F       D9/F#
get the drift
    C          C7                 
You twist your tongue and give 
  F        D9/F#
your palate a lift

[Verse 3]
              C        C7      F 
You take your favorite phrase, 
             D9/F#
read it in the mirror
C        C7           F      D9/F#
Practice that about a half a year
         C         C7         F  
And then sdrawkcab gnikiat mI em 
   D9/F#

         C       C7    
You're a regular talking 
  F            D9/F#

[Chorus]

Talk backwards

[Verse 4]
C       C7           F           
Talking backwards is sweeping the
 D9/F#
 nation
C       C7               
Talking backwards is the new 
F      D9/F#
sensation
     C         C7             
You amaze your friends when you 
  F        D9/F#
start to rap
          C        C7        
Don't say pass the butter, say 
  F          D9/F#
rettub eht ssap
C          C7    F          D9/F#
Rettub eht ssap? Rettub eht ssap

[Verse 5]
              C          C7       
And if you're out with a girl and 
        F          D9/F#
she's a little bit shy
          C      C7       F       
Don't say I love you; say Uoy evol
 D9/F#
 I
C        C7      F      D9/F#
uoy evol I and I always will
     C           C7           F  
Now, see if that doesn't take off
     D9/F#
 the chill

[Chorus]
     Am         G  F  E
Talk Backwards

Am  G  F  E
C  C7  F  D9/F#  G  C

[Verse 6]
    C     C7        F            
The other day I was walking down 
    D9/F#
the street
C                   C7           
There's this little girl I 
      F       D9/F#
thought I'd like to meet
         C        C7          F  
I said excuse me, Miss, sserd 
          D9/F#

C        C7       F

           C    C7      F        
And I said am I getting through 
      D9/F#
to you yet?
         C        C7          F  
She said you're a gent in the 
     D9/F#
first degree
      C            C7     
And I love it when you talk 
  F            D9/F#
backwards to me

[Chorus]
     Am         G  F  E
Talk backwards

Am  G  F  E
C  C7  F  D9/F#  G  C

[Verse 5]
    C         C7        F         
You never can tell, but one of the
 D9/F#
 nights
C              C7               
Those who talk backwards will 
F          D9/F#
demand their rights
        C       C7        F  
They'll rise up angry and get a 
      D9/F#
solution
       C           C7              
In the form of an amendment to the 
F     D9/F#
constitution
     C              C7       
That guarantees 'em freedom of 
    F        D9/F#
reverse elocution
         C     C7   F         D9/F#
And then every T.V. show that airs
     C          C7                
Will have to be captioned for the 
F         D9/F#
forward impaired

[Chorus]
     Am         G  F  E
Talk backwards

Am  G  F  E

     Am         G  F  E
