G Green Door, Jim Lowe 1956

[G] Midnight [C7] one more night without [G] sleeping     [C7] Watching ’til the morning comes [G] creeping     [D] Green Door [C] what’s that secret you’re [G] keeping?

[D] Green Door [C] what’s that secret you’re [G] keeping?
– – – – – – – – – – – – – [Last time thru]  
[G/] GREEN DOOR!

There’s an [G] old piano, and they [C7] play it hot behind the [G] green door,     Don’t know [C7] what they’re doing,   But they laugh a lot behind the [G] Green Door.     Wish they’d [D] let me in,  so I could [C] find out what’s behind the [G] Green Door.

[G] Knocked once [C] tried to tell ’em I’d [G] been there.     [C] Door slammed hospitality’s [G] thin there.     [D] Wondering [C] just what’s going on [G] in there.

Saw an [G] eyeball peepin’,   Through a [C7] smoky cloud behind the [G] green door,     When I [C7] said “Joe sent me”,  someone laughed out loud behind the [G] green door.     All I [D] want to do is join the [C] happy crowd behind the [G] green door.
