Chords for Millie Jackson - This Is It (1980)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This album is for men only. _ _ _
Fellas, I'm on your side this time.
[Gm] _ _
Cause I realize all the hell you've been catching recently. _
You've lost your job.
Your woman is the only one in the house working.
_ _ _ [Dm] She comes in at night too tired to [Gm] make love to you like you used to do.
_ _ [D] _ [G]
And when you speak on the subject,
[A] _ you [Gm] get cursed at.
And you just feel like throwing up both hands
_ and saying to hell with it all.
_ I understand that.
_ But your woman is catching hell too.
_ _ It ain't easy.
_ [G] Having to go out, work hard [Gm] all day. _
_ _ [G] Coming home tired as [Gm] all hell.
To [G] discover, by the way,
[Gm] that now you have been [G] watching soap operas all day.
[Gm] Isn't that?
_ _ There are beer cans from one end of the house to the other [G] one.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [G] Lucky clothes from one end of the [Gm] house to the other one.
There [G] _ _ are [Gm] ashes in every ashtray [G] and beer can in the house.
[Gm] Isn't that? _
The [G] cleanest thing in the house [Gm] is the refrigerator.
_ _ [G] _ _ Which of [Gm] course, you want her to perform some kind of miracle
and invent something in there immediately because you are hungry.
Isn't that?
Now all of [G] this other stuff has [Gm] been happening because this is not a man's job.
Isn't that?
However,
[G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] Isn't that?
The grass is up [G] to the windows.
_ [Gm] Isn't that?
_ The [G] toilet tank still does not [Gm] flush.
_ _ _ _ You did [F] not [Gm] find a job today because it was [G] beneath you.
[Gm] Isn't that?
_ Meanwhile, your woman [F] can't [Gm] get beneath you.
_ Isn't [D] that?
[G] Because you [Gm] have this problem in relating in the bedroom these days.
Isn't that?
[Gm] _ _ You say _ your woman wants to wear the pants in the house. _ _
Now she cannot get in the pants if someone [G] else is already in [Gm] them.
_ So if she's wearing the pants in the house, _ _ evidently you weren't. _ _
_ _ You do have the winning situation.
Isn't that?
You are carrying around the almighty club. _ _ _ _ _
We cannot make it without the club. _
_ Can you find a way to [G] bring the club with you to the [Gm] bedroom?
_ _ [G] Isn't that?
Instead of these wet noodles you've been bringing us that should have been left in the kitchen.
_ [F] I [Gm] say piss on him who comes [G] along.
Isn't that?
Women [Gm] are tired of going to bed at night looking at the back of your head.
Isn't [F] that?
[Gm] And I know what I'm talking about because I've been through this shit myself.
In fact, _ there's been times in my life _ _ [Eb] I've been wondering why.
_ [Cm] Yet [Dm] somehow [Eb] I believe [C] we'll always survive.
[Cm] _ _
_ _ [Gb] Now I'm not [Gm] so sure that you're waiting to [G] hear _ [Eb] one good reason to try.
_ _ [Cm] _ [Dm] Boy, what more [Eb] can I [E] say?
What's left [Bb] to survive?
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[C] You think [F] that maybe [Bb] it's over.
[A] _
[Eb] You _ [Bb] want it to [G] be _ your [D] _ [F] _ _ [Gb] miracle.
[Gm] _
Stand up and fight.
_ [Eb] This is it.
_ [Cm] Make no [Bb] mistake where you [Eb] are.
This is it.
You're faster.
[Bb] _ _ This [Eb] is it.
Don't be a fool [Bb] anymore.
_ This [Eb] is it.
The waiting [Bb] is over.
_ [Gm] Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
_ [Eb]
No time for wondering why.
[Gm] _ [C]
It's [Dm] here.
The [Eb] moment is now [E] about [F] to decide.
_ [Gb] Let us [Gm] believe. _
Don't leave us behind.
_ [Eb] Keep us near in your heart.
[Gm] _ [C] And know [Dm] whatever [Eb] you do, [E] we're here by [C] your side.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[C] You say [F] that maybe [Bb] it's over.
[A] _ _
[F] Not if you [Bb] don't want it to be.
[G] _
For once in [D] your [F] life, here's your miracle.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] This is it.
Make [Bb] no mistake.
This [Eb] is it.
You're going [Bb] no further.
This [Eb] is it.
Until it's over [Bb] and done.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ The [Am] future. _
_ [D] Oh, oh, oh.
_ [Gm] _
You know.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
It's [G] not up to me.
_ [Ab] You know.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] This is it.
Make [Bb] no mistake where you are.
[F] This is it.
You're back [Bb] to the counter.
_ [Eb] This is it.
Don't be a [Bb] fool anymore.
_ [F] This is it.
The [Bb] waiting is over.
[Eb] This is it.
You [Bb] _ _ _ [F] should know.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ For so [C] long. _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ This [Eb] is it.
[C] You can make it.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
