Verse 1
(D major) Understanding is the best (G major)
thing in the world, (D major)
Between a boy (A minor) and a girl (A major) (G major)
Boy and girl and even (F sharp minor) a
woman or a man, (G major)
It's always better when you (A minor) really
understand (A major) (D major) (D minor)
You know (D major) understanding (G major)
is a mighty powerful thing,
(D major) that's why it makes me so sad
Verse 2
(A major) When I see my (A minor) friends wandering
around (A major) (D major) through (G major) the world,
Never knowing the meaning of the word
(F sharp minor) Understanding, so in the next few (D major) minutes,
(G major) I'm gonna
Try to explain just exactly (A minor) what it means
Now wait a minute, (A major) listen, (D major)
for instance, you take me
And (D minor) my old lady,
(G major) we gotta good thing goin'

Verse 3
Because I (D major) know If I don't
work and pay the rent and the
Bills and (A major) buy her fine (A minor) pretty
clothes to wear well, (D minor)
(G major) There are fifteen other guys
just waitin' round the
(F sharp minor) Corner, and I don't care how much
that woman loves (D major) me, (G major)
She's gonna go out and find
herself (A major) one of (A minor) them who
Will and that's why I
believe (D major) that
Understanding is the best (G major) thing in the world,
(D major)
Between a boy (A major) and (G major) a girl
Verse 4
Boy and (G major) girl and even (F sharp minor) a
woman or a man,
It's always (G major) better when you
(A minor) really under (A major) stand
Now listen (D minor) (D major) I don't want
you to think (G major) that this is a
One sided affair, no no
(D major) Because my old lady also understands
(A minor) that a man must
Have respect (G major)
Verse 5
What I mean (G major) is,
if (F sharp minor) she must play around don't let me
Catch her, (G major) because what I don't see (A minor) can't (A major) hurt me,
you
Understand? but on (D major) the other hand,
If I should ever
Catch (G major) her I'm not gonna talk about- a
And call her a (D major) bunch of bad
names like you all might
No no (A minor) (A major)
Verse 6
What I'm gonna do, (A minor)
I'm gonna go down- town (G major) to the
Hardware store and buy myself
a double blade axe, (F sharp minor)
Come back, square off,
and (D major) believe (G major) her soul's gonna
Belong to the good lord
Verse 7
Because her head's (A minor) gonna belong to me,
and I
Guaran (A major) tee she'll know what I
(D major) mean when I'll say
Understanding is the be (G major) st thing in the world,
(D major)
Between a boy (A minor) and (A major) a girl (D minor) (G major)
Verse 8
Boy and (G major) girl and even (F sharp minor) a
woman or a man,
(G major) It's always better when
you (A major) really (A minor) understand
