Standard Tuning
Capo 1


E5  D5    
You line them up
     C5
Look at your shoes
                       E5
You hang names on your wall
         D5      C5
Then you shoot them all
E5        D5
You fly around in planes
  C5
That bring you down
                         E5
To meet me who loves you, like
  D5            C5
Me crashing to the ground
            D5
Are you so lonely?
           C5
Don't even know me
                 D5
But you'd like to stone me

CHORUS
E5                               G5
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                             A5
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C5
Before you go on home


E5        D5
I used to treat you right
     C5
Give you my time

But when I'd turn my back on you
E5       D5       C5
Then you do what you do
E5     D5           C5
You've just enough, in my own view

Education to perform
E5       D5         C5
I'd like to shoot you all
             D5
And then you go home
            C5
With you on your own
            D5
What do you really know?

(Chorus)
E5                      G5
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A5
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C5
Before you go on home

              D5
And then you go home
              C5
With you on your own
              D5
What do you even know?

CHORUS
E5                                G5
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A5
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
                 C5
Before you go on home
E5                                       G5
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
                              A5
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
                C5 
Before you go on home
E5                                       G5
Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
                              A5
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
                 C9~
Before you go on home
