  A                       Em
A woman came up to me and said

     A                        Em
"I'd like to poison your mind

     A                          Em
With wrong ideas that appeal to you

       A                Em
Though I am not unkind"

    A                          Em
She looked at me, I looked at something

 A                       Em 
Written across her scalp

    A                                   Em
And these are the words that it faintly said

     A                      A7
As I tried to call for help:

        D                     Em             A
There's only one thing that I know how to do well

         Bm                       G
And I've often been told that you only can do

          A              D
What you know how to do well

              G      A
And that's be you,

               G     A
Be what you're like,

            G      E7
Be like yourself,

           A                  F
And so I'm having a wonderful time

                   C                    Dm
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark

  Bb                  C
Whistling in the dark

 C                   Dm
Whistling in the dark

And that is whistling in the dark

 D  Em C  D

  A                      Em
A man came up to me and said

     A                       Em
"I'd like to change your mind

   A                           Em
By hitting it with a rock," he said,

        A                 Em
"Though I am not unkind."

   A                          Em
We laughed at his little joke

           A                   Em
And then I happily walked away

    A                              Em
And hit my head on the wall of the jail

          A                     A7
Where the two of us live today.

        D                     Em             A
There's only one thing that I know how to do well

          Bm                      G
And I've often been told that you only can do

          A              D
What you know how to do well

              G      A
And that's be you,

               G     A
Be what you're like,

             G      E7
Be like yourself,

             A                F
