  (Capo 5th fret.)

[G] All you need to [Em] do is to [G] say this little [Em] word;
I [G] know it sounds ab[Em]surd but it's [D] true.
The [G] magic in the [Em] mantra will [G] give you all the [Em] answers.
Just [G] swallow this, that's [D] all you got to [G] do.

[D] Everything you need is here,
And [G] everything that's not here is not there,
And [D] if there's something missing in this God almighty plan
[G] Could it be you [Em] need a [G] woman? [Em]
