Intro

| G | G |

Chorus 1

Look what they done to my song, Ma
Look what they done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they done to my song 

Chorus 2

Look what they've done to my brain, Ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, Ma
Look what they done to my song 

Verse 1

I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song

A-la da da...
Look what they done to my song 

Verse 2

But maybe it'll all be all right, Ma
Maybe it'll all be OK
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich some day, Ma
Look what they done to my song 

Verse 3

Ils ont changé ma chanson, Ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, Ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson 

Chorus 3

Look what they done to my song, Ma
Look what they done to my song, Ma
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag,
Turned it upside down, Ma
Look what they done to my song 
[Verse 3] (Reprise)
Ils ont changé ma chanson, Ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, Ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson 

End-Chorus

Look what they done to my song, Ma, Ma
Look what they done to my song
It's the only thing I could do all right
And they turned it upside down, oh Ma
Look what they done to my song
(fade out)
