(Capo 5th fret.)

All you need to [Em] do is to [G] say this little [Em] word;

I [G] know it sounds ab[Em]surd but it's [D] true.

The [G] magic in the [Em] mantra will [G] give you all the [Em] answers.

Just [G] swallow this, that's [D] all you got to [G] do.

Everything you need is here,

And [G] everything that's not here is not there,

And [D] if there's something missing in this God almighty plan

Could it be you [Em] need a [G] woman? [Em]
