If You Don't Give Me What I Want (I'm Gonna Get It Somewhere Else)

I learned this one right after "He May Be Your Dog," which my mom helped me figure out. I wanted to try to figure the chords out on my own, and I was tickled to realize that the chord progression is almost identical!

Every day this week I've told you what I need

| G | D |

You promise and you promise but you don't show anything

| G | D |

So listen once for all

| G | D |

For this is my last call

| E - A7 | D |

If you don't give me what I want

| G | E7 |

I'm gonna get it somewhere else

| A7 - D | G --(D-G)

It's pickles to pickles and dill to dill

| G | D |

If you don't give me, someone will

| E - (A7-D) |

You may refuse top give me chops

| G7 -- | C --|

But I know other butcher's shops, and

| E -- | A7--D-- |

If you don't give me what I want

| G | E7 |

I'm gonna get it somewhere else

| A7 - D | G --(D-G)

If you don't give me what I want

I'm gonna get it somewhere else

It's pepper to pepper and salt to salt

If you won't give me, ain't my fault.

For three straight days I have heard you say

"Yes, we have no bananas today," but

If you don't give me what I want

I'm gonna get it somewhere else.

I don't want no ham, I don't want no eggs,

I don't want what I don't want and I sure don't wanna beg

So think it over twice

I'll take a fool's advice

If you don't give me what I want

I'm gonna get it somewhere else

It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust,

If you won't give me, someone must

I'm just a gal what's full of youth

That's why I'm going to tell the truth, so

If you don't give me what I want

I'm gonna get it somewhere else

[instrumental break]

I heard a tune that knocked me cold

But darling you are growing old, and

If you can't give me what I want

I'm gonna go and get it somewhere else.
