                    |E      |
I got some so-called friends

                          |E7  |
 They'll smile right to my face

                    |A     |
 Oh, when my back is turned

               |E           
 They'd like to stick it to me
| Yes they would | | | | Oh no no, oh no no
        |A               |E       C#m 
 There's only one thing I need to know

     |F#7  B7     |E  |
Whose side are you on?

              |E |
I fly into J.F.K.

                        |E7  |
 My heart goes boom boom boom

                    |A  |
 I know that customs man

              |E           
 He's going to take me
| To that little room | | | | Oh no no. Oh no, no
        |A               |E       C#m 
 There's only one thing I need to know

     |F#7                    B7          |E  
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?

         |A
I got the paranoia blues

    |                           |E   |
Fnom knockin' around in New York City

          |A             
Where they roll you for a nickel

        |                       |A   |  |
And they stick you for the extra dime

A 
Anyway you choose

      |                         |E
You're bound to lose in New York City

   |A          B7                |E
Oh, I just got out in the nick of time

     |A          B7                |E   |
Well, I just got out in the nick of time

                       |E   |
Once I was down in Chinatown

                             |E7 |
 I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon

                    |A    |
 I happened to turn around

           |E       
 And when I looked I see
| My Chow Fon's gone | | | | Oh no, no, Oh no, no
       |A               |E       C#m
There's only one thing I need to know

     |F#                     B7          |E  |
Whose side are you on, whose side are you on?

              |         B7     |E       A
 Well, there's only one thing I need to know

     |F#          B7         |E   |  |
Whose side, whose side, whose side?
