Think About Your Troubles - Words and Music by Harry Nilsson [Intro] A A9 A A9 [Verse 1]
A              A9                A                 A9
Sit beside the breakfast table,   think about your troubles

D               D9              D               D9       
Pour yourself a cup of tea then think about the bubbles

G                 G9            G             G9   
You can take your teardrops and drop 'em in a teacup

          C             C9     C
Take them down   to the riverside
[Verse 2]
    A              A9             A             A9
And throw 'em over the side to be swept up by a current

     D            D9          D             D9       
Then taken to the ocean to be eaten by some fishes

         G             G9          G              G9   
Who were eaten by some fishes  and swallowed by a whale

C           C       C9 C    A    A9  A    A9    A     A9   A    A9
Who grew so old     he decomposed,,,,,, doo-do,    doo-do     doo-do
[Verse 3]
   A             A9              A             A9
He died and left his body to the bottom of the ocean

    D         D9                  D           D9       
Now everybody knows that when a bo-dy decompos-es

    G         G9                 G         G9   
The basic elements are given back  to the o-cean

        C                C9     C
And the sea does what it oughta
[Verse 4]
    A                  A9     A                A9
And soon there's salty water (not too good for drinking)

          D                  D9              D                D9 
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop (so we run it through a filter)

       G                G9               G            G9         
And it comes out from a faucet (where it pours into a teapot)

         C             C9    C
Which is just about to bubble
[Bridge]
A    A9   A                A9
now       think about your troubles, ----- 

[Outro]
D   D9   D   D9   D   G9   G   G9   C   C9 C  
                           ahhh-----------

(Repeat ad lib. and fade)
A   A9   A   A9   D   A9   D   D9   G   G9   G   G9   C   C9 C
ahhh  --  -- --   ahhhhh  --  --    ahh-- ahh ------- ahhhh  ahh
