lyrics from reprint of 1967 sheet music

G        D 
Hey, hey mercy woman

Em7
Plays a song and no one listens

G                D7              G
I need help, I'm falling again

                D
Play the drum a little louder

Em
Tell me I can live without her

G         D7                   G
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band!

(instrumental - D7  Am  Em7)

B7
Weren't they good, they made my happy

                       Bb7    A7
I think I can make it alone.

G        D 
Hey, hey mercy woman

Em7
Plays a song and no one listens

G                D7              G
I need help, I'm falling again

                D
Play the drum a little louder

Em 
Tell them they can live without her

G            D7                  G
If they only listen to the band
Listen to the band!

(instrumental - D7  Am  Em7)

B7
Weren't they good, they made my happy

                       Bb7    A7

Hey, hey mercy woman

Em7
Plays a song and no one listens

G                D7              G
I need help, I'm falling again
