Your rating:

This one is for the non-perfectionists and it actually sounds very good!

NOTE: Single strum all the time except for Chorus


Intro: Em - D - C - B7 - Em - D - G - Bm        (Same as Verse tune)
       Em - D - C - B7 - B7 - Em - Am7 - Em


VERSE 1:  Em              D               C                  B7
         "The problem is all inside your head," she said to me

          Em              D          G             Bm
         "the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.

           Em          D                 C             B7
          I'd like to help you in your strugle to be free;

                B7      Em    Am7                Em
          There must be fifty ways to leave your lover."


VERSE 2:   Em                 D            C           B7
           She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;

                  Em              D                 G              Bm
           Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.

           Em                D             C             B7
           But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude;

                 B7       Em    Am7                Em
           There must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

            Em    Am7                Em
           Fifty ways to leave your lover.


(Strum Freely startin from the first "G" all the way until the last "G")

                                G                    G7
Chorus: You just slip out the back Jack, Make a new plan Stan
                       C                          G
        No need to be coy Roy, Just get yourself free
                   G                      G7
        Hop on the bus Gus, No need to discuss much,
                          C                          G
        Just drop off the key Lee, And get yourself free

(Sama chords again) You just slip out the back Jack, Make a new plan Stan,
                    No need to be coy roy, Just listen to me
                    Hop on the bus Gus, No need to discuss much,
                    Just drop off the key Lee, And get yourself free

VERSE 3: She said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain; I
         wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."
         I said, "I appreciate that, and would you please explain about the
         fifty ways?"

VERSE 4: She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;
         And I believe that in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
         Then she kissed me and I realised she probably was right
         There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
         Fifty ways to leave your lover

Chorus x 2 (Finish on "free")
