_ Celia, can I [Fm] have a word with you?

_ _ _ [Bb] Please? _ _ _
No, now, [Eb] _ _ before you take a bow.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
You see what I [Dm] have to say is so very [Gm] important
to our relationship.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ Why is it every time we go out on the town
and get [Gm] around my friends,
_ _ _ [Eb] _ man you're [Cm] always talking about what you got.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
What [G] I done bought you,
[Dm] _ _ _ _
how [Eb] much money I made, _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ and [D] which school our children go to,
_ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _ and all the fancy clothes,
[Eb] _ _ _ _
big pretty [Dm] cars,
_ big diamond rings and the fantastic mink coats.
_ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ You for [Cm] real, _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ I don't think you are. _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ See people are too [D] busy today,
they don't wanna hear about what you got
because they trying to get it too.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
And all I [Ebm] can hear is people [Ab] telling me
that you sat in the [G] bar in the back in the dark
with a bottle of champagne talking about [Eb] time and debt,
_ and Joe and Bobby,
_ [Cm] _ _ and what they ain't got.
[Dm] _
_ [C] And they live down [F] in the lower development homes.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ Is that any way to be? _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] You talk about them and you won't even [E] buy them a drink.
Yet and still [Cm] you call them your friends.
_ _ _ _ [D] Tell the truth.
_ _ _ And I know you know what I'm talking about
because I can remember [Eb] from time to time
you coming [Dm] to me, putting your head on my shoulder and crying.
[Gm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] I remember you [B] crying,
Oh, Papa, why?
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] Why?
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [Ab] Why don't nobody wanna be [Fm] my friend? _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] See then I thought you'd have sense enough to [D] realize,
but I see you don't.
_ _ No, sit down.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ Listen to me.
_ See that's your [Gb] problem.

That is your problem.
You're always [Bb] saying the wrong thing.
At the right.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
