Em     E+     Em7   A7
 Every-body's got a thing;
    Dm         G7          Cmaj7  E+
But some don't know how to handle it.
Em      E+       Em7    A7
 Always reachin' out in vain,
   Dm          G7               Cmaj7 E+
Ac-cepting the things not worth ha....ving.

Chorus 1:

 Don't you worry 'bout a thing,
                        Bm          Cmaj7
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama.
             A7              Cmaj7                   Gmaj7  E+
'Cos I'll be standing on the side, when you check it out.

Verse 2:

     Em       E+       Em7      A7
They say your style of life's a drag,
    Dm            G7       Cmaj7 E+
And that you must go other pla  -ces.
    Em   E+        Em7      A7
But just don't you feel too bad,
     Dm      G7        Cmaj7      E+
When you get fooled by smiling fa-ces. But...

 Don't you worry 'bout a thing,

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama.
             A7              Cmaj7
'Cos I'll be standing on the side, when you check it;

G  F#  F  E  Eb  D  G

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama.

Em     E+   Em7     A7
 Every-body needs a change;
  Dm        G7            Cmaj7  E+
A chance to check out the new.
    Em         E+   Em7    A7
But you're the only one to see,
    Dm          G7            Cmaj7    E+
The changes you take yourself through.  But...

 Don't you worry 'bout a thing,
                        Bm          Cmaj7
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama.
             A7              Cmaj7                   Gmaj7  E+
'Cos I'll be standing on the side, when you check it out.
