Spoonful, man, that's what I'm talking about.
[G] One, [E] two, three.
Could be a spoonful of [Em] diamond, could be a spoonful of gold.
[E] Just a little spoon of your precious love will satisfy my soul.
Many lies about it, some of them cry about it, some of them die.
Everything's right about a spoon, [A] [Em] that spoon, that spoon, that [E] spoonful.
[G]
[Em] Could be a spoonful of coffee, could be a spoonful of tea.
[E] Put a little spoon of your precious love, it's good enough for me.
Many lies about it, some of them cry about it, some of them die about it.

Everybody's right about a spoon, [G] that spoon, that spoon, that [E] spoonful.

[A] [Em]
Could be a spoonful of water, straight from the desert [E] sand.
[Gm] [Am] [E] But one spoon of [Em] them 45 save you from another man.
Many lies about it, [E] some of them cry [Em] about it, [E] some of them die [Em] [E] about it.
[G] [E]
Everybody's right about a spoon, [G] that spoon, that spoon, [E] that spoonful.

Many lies, [E] some of them [Gm]
cry about [Em] it, [E] they even die about it.
