Intro: E 

Chorus: 
E         A                      E 
Midnight, one more night without sleepin'.. 
A                                E 
watchin', till the morning comes creepin'. 
B7          A                         E 
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'? 

#1. 
E                             A 
There's an old piano and they play it hot 
           E 
behind the green door. 
           A 
Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh 
                 E 
a lot behind the green door. 
            B7                   A 
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out 
                  E 
what's behind the green door. 

#2. 
E             A                     E 
Knocked once, tried to tell 'em I'd been there. 
A                           E 
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there. 
B7      A                    E 
Wonder, just what's goin' on in there. 

#3. 
E                                A 
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud 
           E 
behind the green door. 
       A 
When I said, Joe sent me, someone laughed out loud 
           E 
behind the green door. 
      B7                     A 
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind 
    E 
the green door.
