  I'm not certain of any special procedures to posting lyrics since I'm new to 

  this group, but I saw two requests to have this posted and this is the

  way I like to read music, so here goes:

  

  Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover

  Words and Music by Paul Simon, 1975

  

  

  Em/G            D6               CM7                B7-9   B7

  "The problem is all inside your head," she said to me

  

  Em              D#dim7     GM9+5         B+

  "the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.

  

  Em          D6                 CM7             B7-9    

  I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free;

  

         B7     Em    Am7                Em

  there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

  

  

  Em/G            D6            CM7         B7-9   B7

  She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;

  

  Em        D#dim7           GM9+5         B+

  I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.

  

       Em           D6          CM7           B7-9    

  But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude;

  

         B7     Em    Am7                Em

  there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

         

  Em    Am7                Em

  fifty ways to leave your lover."

  

  

                    G

  Just slip out the back, Jack.

  

             Bb6 

  Make a new plan, Stan;

  

                       C7

  You don't need to be coy, Roy,

  

                    G

  just get yourself free.    (on repeat:  Just listen to me)

  

  

  

             G

  Hop on the bus, Gus;

  

                       Bb6 

  You don't need to discuss much;

  

                    C7

  Just drop off the key, Lee.

  

                    G

  and get yourself free.

  

  

  REPEAT CHORUS

  

  

  Second verse:

  

  She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I

  wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."

  I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the

  fifty ways?"

  

  She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;

  I'm sure in the morning you'll begin to see the light."

  And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right; there must be

  fifty ways to leave your lover,

  fifty ways to leave your lover."

  

  REPEAT CHORUS twice.

  

  

  Chords: (by request)

  Hope these help, and I hope they're right!  Some of them are just plain

  bizarre, so your guess is probably as good as mine.  Happy fingering!
