Capo I to match John's original recording (a lot of his old stuff seems to be a half step above open tuning)

e ——————————— G ——————————— B ——————————— D ———-2———————- A –3—5——-5—3————- E ———————————

Intro: C/C/F/C/G/F/C (Same general pattern throughout)

C you come in through the back door C why're you coming in like that, smiling for? F i've got something i need to tell you C i can feel your smile burning through

G			F		C

and i am leaving you, and i am sorry
