G                            Em 
Look what they've done to my song, Ma 
C                            C/A 
Look what they've done to my song 
              G                       A 
Well it's the only thing that I could do half right 
         C               A7 
And it's turning out all wrong, ma 
G                 D7         G 
Look what they've done to my song.
[Refrain]
G                            Em 
Look what they've done to my brain, Ma 
C                            C/A 
Look what they've done to my brain 
          G                A 
Yeah they picked it like a chicken bone 
      C                A7 
And I think I'm half insane, Ma 
G                 D7         G 
Look what they've done to my brain.
[Strophe]
  G                                Em 
I wish I could find a good book to live in 
C                        C/A 
Wish I could find a good book 
          G            A 
Cause if I could find a real good book 
    C                          A7 
I'd never have to come out and look at 
G                 D7         G 
Look what they've done to my song.
[Strophe]
G                  Em 
Na na na na na na na na  
C                 C/A 
Na na na na na na na na 
G                   A 
And if people are buying tears  
C                      A7 
I’ll be rich some day, Ma 
G                 D7         G    D7 
Look what they've done to my brain.
[Strophe]
      G                          Em 
But maybe it'll all be all right Ma,  
C                 C/A 
Maybe it'll all be OK 
     G                    A 
Cause if the people are buying tears  
C                    A7 
I'll be rich someday, Ma 
G                 D7         G 
Look what they've done to my song.

Look what they've done to my song, Ma 
C                            C/A 
Look what they've done to my song 
          G               A 
Yeah they tied it up in a plastic bag 
         C                A7 
and they turned it upside down 
G                 D7         G 
Look what they've done to my song. Ma 
G                            Em
