INTRO: D | C#m | Bm | E | D | E

VERSE ONE:
[A]Ten hundred [Bm]books could I [D]write you a[A]bout her
'Cause I [A]felt if I could know her
I would know [D]all wom[E]en
And they've [A]not been any too well [Bm]known
For brains and [D]planning and organized [F#m]thinking
But I'm sure the [D]women are equal
And they [E]may be ahead of the [A]men [D] [A]

VERSE TWO:
Yet I wouldn't spread such a rumor around
'Cause one organizes the other
And sometimes the most lost and wasted attract
The most balanced and sane
And the wild and the reckless
Take up with the clocked and the timed
And the mixture is all us
And we're still mixing

CHORUS:
But [D]never, never, [C#m]never
[Bm]Never could've it been [A]done
If the [D]women hadn't entered [C#m]into the deal
Like she [Bm]came along to [A]me

SLIDE GUITAR SOLO: D | C#m | Bm | E | D | E | A - D | A

VERSE THREE:
And all creeds and kinds and colors of us are blending
Till I suppose ten million years from now
We'll all be just alike
Same color, same size, working together
And maybe we'll have all of the fascists
Out of the way by then
(Maybe so)

repeat CHORUS

repeat SOLO [x3, fading out]
