Tone: [Em]
Capo: 1st
Verse 1
A [Em]man's got a heart,[B7]heart, hasn't he?
J[F#m7b5]Joking a[B7]apart -- hasn't [Em]he?
And though [Am]I'd be the [Am7]
first one to [D7]say that I wasn't a [G]saint
I'm [Fmaj7]finding it hard to be
really as black as they p[F#m7b5]paint [B7]
I'm [Em]reviewing the situation
Can a fellow be a villain all his l[B7]life
All the trials, and tribulation
Better settle down and get myself a w[Em]wife
[B7]And a[Em]a wife would cook and[B7]and sew for me
And [Em]come for me, and[B7]and go for me
And [Em]go for me and[B7]and nag at me
The [Em]fingers she wi[B7]will wag at me
The [Em]money she will[B7]will take from me
A [Am]misery, she'll [B7]make from me...
I [Em]think I'd better [B7]think it out[Em]out again! [B7]
Verse 2
A [Em]wife you can keep,[B7]keep, anyway
I[F#m7b5]'d rather s[B7]leep, any[Em]way
Left with[Am]out any[Am7]one in the w[D7]
orld and I'm starting fr[G]om now
So h[Fmaj7]ow to win friends and to influence people,[F#m7b5] so how[B7]
I'm [Em]reviewing the situation
I must quickly look up everyone I k[B7]know
Titled people, with a station
Who can help me make a real impressiv[Em]impressive show
[B7]I will [Em]own a suite at Clar[B7]Claridge's
And [Em]run a fleet of c[B7]carriages
And [Em]wave at all t[B7]the duchesses
With[Em]With friendliness,[B7]friendliness, as much as is
Befi[Em]Befitting of my ne[B7]new estate
"G[Am]ood morrow to you, m[F#m7b5]agistrate![B7]" ...
I [Em]think I'd better [B7]think it out a[Em]again [B7]
Verse 3
So[Em]So where shall I go [B7]-- somebody?
W[F#m7b5]Who do I [B7]know? Nobody[Em]Nobody!
All my d[Am]earest comp[Am7]anions have
a[D7]lways been villains and [G]thieves
So a[Fmaj7]t my time of life I should
start turning over n[F#m7b5]ew leav[B7]es?
I'm [Em]reviewing the situation
If you want to eat, you've got to e[B7]earn a bob
Is it such a humiliation
For a robber to perform an honest job[Em]job
[B7]So a [Em]job I'm getting, pos[B7]possibly
I wo[Em]wonder who my boss[B7]boss'll be?
I wo[Em]wonder if he'll[B7]he'll take to me?
What[Em]What bonuses he'll[B7]he'll make to me?
I'll[Em]I'll start at eigh[B7]eight and finish late
At[Am] normal rate, and al[F#m7b5]l, but wai[B7]t
I [Em]think I'd better [B7]think it out[Em]out again [B7]
Verse 4
Wh[Em]What happens when I'[B7]I'm seventy
M[F#m7b5]Must come a [B7]time, seve[Em]seventy
When you're [Am]old, and it's [Am7]cold and
who [D7]cares if you live or you [G]die
Your[Fmaj7] one consolation's the money you may have[F#m7b5] put by[B7]
I'm [Em]reviewing the situation
I'm a bad one and a bad one I shall [B7]stay
You'll be seeing no transformation
But it's wrong to be a rogue in every[Em]every way
[B7]I don't[Em]don't want nobody hurt fo[B7]for me
Or m[Em]made to do the di[B7]dirt for me
This[Em]This rotten life [B7]is not for me
It's[Em]It's getting far t[B7]too hot for me
Ther[Em]There is no in bet[B7]between for me
Bu[Am]t who will change th[F#m7b5]e scene fo[B7]r me
I [Em]think I'd better [B7]think it out[Em]out again [B7]
Outro
Can [Em]somebody change? It's [B7]possible
[F#m7b5]Maybe it's st[B7]strange But it's [Em]possible!
All my de[Am]arest com[Am7]panions and
tr[D7]easures I've [G]left them behind
I'll [Fmaj7]turn a leaf over And who can tell what I[F#m7b5]I may fi[B7]find?
I'm rev[Em]reviewing the situation, Once a
villain you're a villain to th[B7]the end
Your light fingers, your inspiration,
What a team! Am I your partner? Or a [Em]friend
For your [Em]talent is e[B7]employable
So m[Em]make your life en[B7]enjoyable
A wo[Em]world with pockets [B7]open wide
A[Em]Await your whim to [B7]grope inside
Col[Em]Collections undet[B7]undetectable
We m[Em]might retire re[B7]respectable
Tog[Em]Together till our d[B7]dying date
The li[Am]ving proof that crim[F#m7b5]e can pa[B7]y!
I t[Em]think We'd better [B7]think it out[Em]out again [B7](Hey!)
