Verse 1:
E/B A/C# E7/D A/C# E/B A/C# E7/D A/C#
Do away with people blowin’ my mind
E/B A/C# E7/D A/C# E/B A/C# E7/D A/C#
Do away with people wastin’ my precious time
A D/A A7 D/A
Take me to a simple place
A D/A A7 D/A
Where I can easily see my face
E/B A/C# E7/D A/C# E/B A/C# E7/D A/C#
Maybe baby, I’ll see that you were kind
G F E [repeat intro riff]
Know I love you baby, yes I do
G F E [repeat intro riff]
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Verse 2:
Do away with people laughin; at my hair
Do away with people frownin’ on my precious cares
Take me to a circus tent
Where I can easily pay my rent
And all the other freaks will share my cares
Know I love you baby, yes I do [2X]
[solo over verse chords]
Verse 3:
Do away with things that come on obscene
Like hot rods, pre-cleaned real fine nicotine
Sometimes the price is sixty-five dollars
Prices like that make a grown man holler
‘Specially when it’s sold by a kid who’s only fifteen
Know I love you baby, yes I do [2X]
[solo over verse chords; fade on A]
— another ace 60’s tab from Andrew Rogers
