Be Kind To Me

	  		Be Kind to Me ~ Michael Hurley 
from "Armchair Boogie" 

G 
Told you once and I told you twice: 

Why be mean when you can be nice? 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

G 
I hardly feel like a mustard seed 

?cause your love is what I need 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

G 
I?m the ace of hearts and she?s my queen, 

the best old girl you ever seen 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

G 
I told you, child, when you were sixteen, 

I wanted you, girl, to be my queen 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

G 
A bull frog sitting on a lily pond 

And I was holding her in my arms 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

G 
I call you on the telephone 

Tell me why you?re never home 
     C              G 
Come on, be kind to me! 
          D          C    G 
Can?t you see I?m in misery? 

The same chord progression repeats twice for the 'mouth trumpet'  
solo. During the second progression the vocals return and the  
song ends like this: 

C              G 
    Be kind to me! 
          D          C                                           
Can't you see I?m in mi-i---ser-er-er---ree-eeeeee-eeee? 

end on G
