The Beatles – Happiness Is A Warm Gun   (Album: The Beatles (1968))

Am7,      Am6,    Em9,           Em

She’s not a girl   who misses much      

 Du du du du du du      Oh yeah

Dm6,                   Am

 She’s well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

 like a lizard on a window pane               The

man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots

Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime

 A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the national trust

double tempo [ A7             C   Am     ]

A7                                                                  

I need a fix ’cause I’m goin’ down, down to the bits that I left up town

C                                   

I need a fix ’cause I’m goin’ down.

A7                        C                            A7                        G7           

Mother Superior jump the gun,     Mother Superior jump the gun.     (3X)

Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot).
