(F7
) How...... (Bb
) (Ab
) does a (F7
) one decide  (Bb
)
(Ab
) that the (F7
) methods he's using (Bb
) (Ab
) they
(F7
) just won't jive.   (Bb
) (Ab
)  (Eb
) truly believe
(Bb
) and (Eb
) trying over (Bb
) and over again (F7
)
(Bb
) (Ab
)  (Eb
) livin in (Bb
) hopes, (Eb
) that some
(Bb
) day he'll be in (C7)with the winners?

When...should one change his mind and jump the fence,
for the dollar sign? It's a sad thing, it's a bad
thing but so necessary.  That this cold world forced
your values to become monetary.  (C7
) (F
) (C7
)

CHORUS: (F7
) Hmmmmm........ (Bb
) (Ab
)
(F7
) Tell me what I need is (Bb
) success (Ab
)

Is it do your own thing, or to join the rest?  Or
should you truly believe or keep trying over and over
again? Livin in hopes that someday you'll be the
winners.
