G         D           Em               Bsus4
Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
G                D        G
I need help, I'm falling again.
G               D              Em            Bsus4
Play the drum a little louder, tell me I can live without her
G         D             G
If I only listen to the band. Listen to the band!

There should be a C in between the D and Em chords in the main pattern of the verse. In other words, it should be G, D, C, Em, G, D, G each time. Watch and listen to the version from 33&1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee and you’ll hear it and see Mike playing it that way.

True. There is also a return to the D after the first rotation. Bsus4? Maybe once the horns are added, but not in the rhythm guitar part.
