Verse 1
(A minor) BACKDOOR
Late one night (D minor) after a show
A pretty young lady came by (A minor) smilin' low
And I (E major) could plainly (A minor) see she had
a look of love in her eyes
Well I (F major) felt I
Verse 2
(D minor) had nothin' to (A minor) lose
Since I came down (E major) (A minor) with
the no invitation blues (D minor)
And (A minor) (E major) (A minor) if there's one thing I hate,
you know I hate to refuse
The ride was (D minor) real fine back
Verse 3
to her place (A minor)
(E major) And as my eyes fell (A minor) slowly
down from her face
Verse 4
I noticed something big, shiny and bright
(A minor) On her hand was this diamond (D minor) ring
Forty of the biggest carats
I had ever (A minor) seen
And (E major) it (A minor) quickly raised a
Verse 5
question to my mind
(A minor) And I said, woman is (D minor) there a
backdoor to this place?
Cause in the morning I don't want
(A minor) to see your man's (E major) (A minor) face
I said, shut out the light
(D minor) s and lock the doors
You know I wish (A minor) (E major) (A minor) you
wouldn't tell me bout his forty- four
Hey woman is there a
backdoor to this (D minor) place? (A minor)
Verse 6
(E major) I figured that I'd play it cool
You know I (A minor) didn't want
to be in the late late news
So I did what I had to do and then
(D minor) I headed for the door
Verse 7
Well wouldn't you know that (A minor)
right about then
I could hear the (E major) key of her old man
So I (A minor) retraced my steps and made
my exit for that backdoor
Verse 8
I said, open (A minor) (D minor) that door so
I can run for my life
Thank you for the evenin' (A minor) y'know
it's really been nice
Take (E major) good care of your health (A minor) and
may we never meet again
Verse 9
Well (A minor) I was up there singin'
next night at the show
And who should I see in the (D minor) very first row
But the smilin' little lady and
her big old man
Verse 10
And I said, (A minor) woman is there
a backdoor to this place?
Cause (E major) in the morning (A minor) I don't
want to see your man's face
I said, shut out the lights
and lock the doors
You (D minor) know I wish you wouldn't
tell me bout (A minor) his forty- four (E major)
Hey woman is there a (A minor) backdoor
to this place?
Verse 11
And I said, woman is there a backdoor (A minor)
to this place?
Cause in the (D minor) morning I don't want
to see your man's (A minor) face
I said, shut out (E major) the lights and
(A minor) lock the doors
You know I wish you wouldn't
(D minor) tell me bout his forty- four
Hey woman is there a back (A minor) door to
(E major) this place?
