Verse 1
The (D major) same songwriting team
also composed
Motown's next major hit,
Can I
Get a
Witness, by
Marvin
Gaye. (G major)
(D major) Marvin reminisces about that session.
Holland
Dozier and
Holland came to me one (G major)
day and they said,
(D major) gee
Marvin, we've (G major) got a great thing (D major) here.
And I (G major) said, (D major) see I need (G major) something. (D major)
Diane and a couple of the other
Supremes (G major) were in the studio
and they said, well,
let's use (C major) them for backup (G major) voices. (C major)
So
Diane (G major) thought it was great.
She loves (D major) that kind of thing.
She's
so groovy and she said (A major) yeah I'd
(D major) love to get on that (G major) an (D major) d so
Diane and the (F major) girls
did (A major) back (G major) ground work (A major) on that and (D major) I went
and re (G major) cord I said gee man I love (C major) it so
much I swear (F major) right in that after (D major) noon and did that
kind of get a wit (G major) ness (D major) (G major) (A major) (B flat major) (A major) (D major)
one you love, you're never home
I (G major) love (C major) too hard,
(G major) (C major) are my friends (G major) some (C major) times safe?
(G major) But (C major) I believe, (D major) I believe
That a woman could be loved that way
But it (A major) hurts me so inside
To see her (G major) treat me (C major) so unkind
(G major) (C major) Somebody, (D major) some way
Tell her it's unfair
Can I get some with me?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Is it (G major) right to be treated (C major) so (G major) bad
When (C major) (G major) you've given
everything you had
Even tossed (D major) it in my sleep
Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now (A major) you think you agree
That this (G major) ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me (D major) hear you, let me hear say, yeah (A major)
Up early in (C major) the (D major) morning,
I woke up on my mind
Just to find out all night
that I've been crying
But I believe (G major) a woman's
a man's best friend
So I'm gonna stick (D major) by her
Till the very end
Cause (A major) she caused so much misery
That (G major) I forget how (C major) love's (G major)
Supposed to be somebody
(D major) Cause I'm aware
Tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness? (A major)
Can I get a (D major) witness?
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Can I get a witness?
Witness, (G major) (D major) witness
Can I get a witness?
With this, with that (G major)
Everybody (C major) knows (G major)
Especially you, girl
A love (D major) can be sad
But half of a love is quite as bad
Now (A major) all you chicks agree
That this (G major) ain't the way
it's supposed to be
Let me (D major) hear you
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna with me
I want a
Whitney
Come on,
Whitney
I want a
Whitney
Just a little bit of my
Outro 1
Oh, yeah
