Capo 1


Em  D9    
You line them up
     C7M
Look at your shoes
                       Em
You hang names on your wall
         D9      C7M
Then you shoot them all
Em        D9
You fly around in planes
  C7M
That bring you down
                         Em
To meet me who loves you, like
  D9            C7M
Me crashing to the ground
            D9
Are you so lonely?
           C
Don't even know me
                 D9
But you'd like to stone me

CHORUS
Em                               G
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                             A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C9
Before you go on home


Em        D9
I used to treat you right
     C7M
Give you my time

But when I'd turn my back on you
Em       D9       C7M
Then you do what you do
Em     D9           C7M
You've just enough, in my own view

Education to perform
Em       D9         C7M
I'd like to shoot you all
             D9
And then you go home
            C7M
With you on your own
            D9
What do you really know?

(Chorus)
Em                      G
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C9
Before you go on home

              D9
And then you go home
              C7M
With you on your own
              D9
What do you even know?

CHORUS
Em                                G
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C9
Before you go on home
Em                                       G
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A7
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
                C9 
Before you go on home
Em                                       G
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
                              A7
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
                 C9~
Before you go on home
