Be Kind to Me ~ Michael Hurley
from "Armchair Boogie"

G
Told you once and I told you twice:

Why be mean when you can be nice?
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

G
I hardly feel like a mustard seed

‘cause your love is what I need
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

G
I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen,

the best old girl you ever seen
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

G
I told you, child, when you were sixteen,

I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

G
A bull frog sitting on a lily pond

And I was holding her in my arms
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

G
I call you on the telephone

Tell me why you’re never home
     C              G
Come on, be kind to me!
          D          C    G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?

The same chord progression repeats twice for the 'mouth trumpet' 
solo. During the second progression the vocals return and the 
song ends like this:

C              G
    Be kind to me!
          D          C                                          
Can't you see I’m in mi-i---ser-er-er---ree-eeeeee-eeee?

end on G
