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
Am/C"The probleG6m is all inside yFM7our head," sheE7m9 said tE7o me
Am"the answerD#dim7 is easy if
CM9+5
you take it lE+ogic'lly.AmI'm here to G6help you if you're FM7struggling to beE7m9 free;
there mE7ust be Amfifty Dm7ways to leave your Amlover."
Am/CShe said, "G6It's really noFM7t my habit tE7m9o intruE7de;
AmI hope my D#dim7meaning won't be
CM9+5
lost or misconE+strued.But IAm'll repeat myG6self at the FM7risk of being E7m9crude;
there mE7ust be Amfifty Dm7ways to leave your Amlover."
Amfifty Dm7ways to leave your Amlover."
Just slip out the Cback, Jack.
Make a new D#6plan, Stan;
You don't need to be F7coy, Roy,
just get yourself Cfree. (on repeat: Just listen to me)
Hop on the Cbus, Gus;
You don't need to disD#6cuss much;
Just drop off the F7key, Lee.
and get yourself fCree.
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.

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!
