Verse 1
C 
Well, a friend of mine,
he was doin' just fine
With a song on the charts,
he was deep in the hearts
Of every brown -eyed pigtail female
G 
under twenty -three years
And when the interviewer
started to pull him apart
He was leanin' on the
screen and talkin'
About bein' up there,
C 
G 
C 
soundin' way down here
He spoke of peace and of love
and of sexual friends
F 
Speaking of others, well,
he said you can't be
G 
And by the time he saw it in writing
Well, he played me this song
C 
And then he went in to hide and talk on it
I said it and now that I read it
G 
It sounds so funny to me
So dumb and so foolish
So just out of school -ish
C 
And it came so naturally
I know I can get by on my
song and my heart
F 
For some folks that leave me alone
G 
Well, doggone it, I said it
And now I regret it
And I read it in
Rolling
C 
Stone
And when the sales went down
He could finally be found
at a revival affair
Down in
Madison
Square
Where every brown -eyed,
Am 
teased -haired mayor
G 
Ran him off his stool
And when the magazine man
Asked him for his stand
He was reminded of the time
He was standing in line out there
C 
A man kept his cool
And he spoke of heading for
Woodstock
And getting it together
F 
And taking the time out
To love your brother
G 
By the time he saw it
Gm 
G 
Well, he was cursin' them mothers
and ready for fightin'
C 
Doggone it, I said it, and now that I read it
G 
It sounds so funny to me
So dumb and so foolish,
so just out of schoolish
C 
And it came so naturally
I know I can get by on my
song and my heart
F 
For some folks that leave me alone
G 
Well, doggone it, I said it,
Gm 
and now I regret it
G 
in a redded rolling stone.

He spoke ahead of her,

By the time he saw it in print
Well, he was cursing them mothers
And here's how it went,

And now that I read it,
G 
it sounds so funny to me
So dumb, so foolish,
so just out of schoolish
C 
And it came so naturally
I know I can get by on my
song and my heart
Some folks will leave me alone
F 
G 
Well, doggone it, I said it now,
C 
I regret it in a red and golden stone

Well, doggone it, I said it now,
C 
I regret it in a red and golden stone
