Excuse [Bb] me mister, [F] do you [Gm] have time?
Or are [F] you so important that it stands [Gm] still?
[G] Excuse [Bb] me mister, won't you lend me your [Gm] ear?
Or are you not [Bb] only blind, [F] but do you [Gm] not hear?
Excuse me mister, but is there [A] [G] natural oil in the sea?
And the pollution in [Bb] the air, mister, whose could [Gm] that be?
So excuse me [Bbm]
mister, but [F] I'm a [G] mister too
And you're giving [Bb] mister a bad [F] name, mister [Gm] like you
So I'm taking the mister from out in front of your name
Cause it's mister like you that puts the rest of us to shame
It's mister [D] like you that [G] puts the rest of us to shame
And I, I, [Bb] I, I, [F] I, I've [G] seen enough
I've seen enough [Bb] to know that [F] I've seen too [Gm] much
Excuse [Bb] me mister, can't [F] you see the [Gm] children die?
Say that you can't help them, mister, you're [F] not even [G] trying
Excuse [Bb] me mister, [F] just take a look [Bb] around
[F] Ah mister, just look up and you will, you'll [G] see it coming down
[Bb] Lord, excuse me mister, [F] but I'm a, [Gm] I'm a mister too
Giving [Bb] mister a bad [F] name, [Gm] mister like you
So I'm taking [Bb] the mister [F] from out in front [G] of your name
Cause it's a mister [Bb] like you who [F] puts the rest of [G] us to shame
It's a mister [Bb] like you who puts [F] the rest of [G] us to shame
And I, I, I, [Bb] I, I, I've seen enough
[F] I've seen enough to [Gm]
[Bb] know [F] that I've seen too [G] much
I've seen [Gm] enough, [Bb]
[F] I have [G] seen enough
To know [Bb]
that I [F] have seen [Gm] too much
See, cause mister, when [Bb] you're rattling a halt at heaven's gate
[Gm] [Bb]
[F] By then it is too [G] late
Cause mister, when [Bb] you get there, they don't ask, they don't ask what you [G] say
All they [Bb] want to know, mister, [F] is what you [G] gave
So excuse [Bb] me mister, but [F] I'm a [Gm] mister too
[C] And you're giving [Fm] mister a bad name, mister [Gm] like you
So I'm taking [Bb] the mister [F] from [Gm] out in front of your name
Cause it's a mister [F] like you who puts the rest of us [Gm] to shame
It's a [Bb] mister like you who puts the rest of us [Gm] to [Bb] shame
