lyrics from reprint of 1967 sheet music
Hey, hey mercy woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Play the drum a little louder
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band!
(instrumental - D7 Am Em7)
Weren't they good, they made my happy
I think I can make it alone.
Hey, hey mercy woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Play the drum a little louder
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band
Listen to the band!
(instrumental - D7 Am Em7)
Weren't they good, they made my happy
I think I can make it alone.
Hey, hey mercy woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Play the drum a little louder
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band
Listen to the band!
(instrumental - D7 Am Em7 B7 B7 A7 G D Em7 G D7 G)
