arpeggios:

g8 / g8 / g8 / g8 2x

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates

Why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates

I've heard that good things will come to he who waits

I should be riding on a float in the hit parade

Instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade

Another verse in the doormat serenade

 Won't you put me on top

won't you put me on top, or change the odds

won't you put me on top

 or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box

Oh, at least put some hope in the box for me

'Cause it's only black and white and not a lot of each

There's a remote on the shelf, but it's out of reach

 Won't you put me on top

won't you put me on top, or change the odds

won't you put me on top

 or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box

Put some hope in the bottom of the box for me

I need it

Solo

(the solo is loosely the melody to The Beatles' "She Said".

The words are just there for a guide, they are not sung))

 (she said

who put all those things in your head

g8 (lower octave)

things that make me feel that I'm mad

(octaves)

and shes making me feel that

[2 notes only]

 Won't you put me on top

won't you put me on top again, or change the odds

or in the least put some hope

 or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box

 or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
