I'm not certain of any special procedures to posting lyrics since I'm new to
this group, but I saw two requests to have this posted and this is the
way I like to read music, so here goes:
Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover
Words and Music by Paul Simon, 1975
Em/G"The probleD6m is all inside yCM7our head," sheB7-9 said tB7o me
Em D#dim7 GM9+5 B+
"the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.
EmI'm here to D6help you if you're CM7struggling to beB7-9 free;
there mB7ust be Emfifty Am7ways to leave your Emlover."
Em/GShe said, "D6It's really noCM7t my habit tB7-9o intruB7de;
Em D#dim7 GM9+5 B+
I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.
But IEm'll repeat myD6self at the CM7risk of being B7-9crude;
there mB7ust be Emfifty Am7ways to leave your Emlover."
Emfifty Am7ways to leave your Emlover."
Just slip out the Gback, Jack.
Make a new Bb6plan, Stan;
You don't need to be C7coy, Roy,
just get yourself Gfree. (on repeat: Just listen to me)
Hop on the Gbus, Gus;
You don't need to disBb6cuss much;
Just drop off the C7key, Lee.
and get yourself fGree.
REPEAT CHORUS
Second verse:
She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I
wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."
I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the
fifty ways'"
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;
I'm sure in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right; there must be
fifty ways to leave your lover,
fifty ways to leave your lover."
REPEAT CHORUS twice.

bizarre, so your guess is probably as good as mine. Happy fingering!
