[Intro]
B Bb A B Bb A G
 
[Chorus]
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!
(the band plays)
D   Am   Em
 
[Pre-Chorus]
B
Weren't they good, they made me happy.
B             B        Bb   A
I think I can make it alone.
 
[Chorus]
G     D           Em               Bsus4
  Oh, 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 bit louder, tell them they can live without her
G            D             G
If they only listen to the band. Listen to the band!
(the band plays)
D   Am   Em
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    B
Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
B             B        Bb   A
I think I can make it alone.
 
[Chorus]
G   D       Em               Bsus4
  Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
G                D        G
I need help, I'm falling again.
       G                     D
C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Em             Bsus4
Tell us we can live without her
G                D               G     G
Now that we have listened to the band.
 
(Fade out then fade back in)
 
[Outro]
Listen to the band!
D   Am   Em   B     B Bb A
 
G  D  Em  Bsus4  G  D  G    x2
(Fade out)
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.
