  			C I TURNED YOUR HOLE CARD F UPSIDE C DOWN 
 
I CAUGHT YOU CHEATIN AND D RUNNING G AROUND 
 
THERE'S A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE 
 
WHILE AN C OTHER TAKES MY A PLACE 
 
AND NOW AT Dm LAST DEAR THE G TRUTH I'ÎVE C FOUND 
 
 
 BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT YOUR FREE TO GO 
 
YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD I'LL TAKE THE LOW 
 
HERE'S YOUR COAT AND SHOES AND DON'T FORGET YOUR BLUES 
 
YOUR OWN CANOE YOU'LL HAVE TO ROW 
 
 
 BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT SHIFT YOUR GEARS 
 
I KNOW YOU FOOL ME FOR ALL THESE YEARS 
 
ILL HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH, AND I'LL FORGET YOU BY AND BY 
 
AND THERE'LL BE LAUGHTER INSTEAD OF TEARS 
 
 
 BABE THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT KICK UP YOUR HEELS 
 
THERE'LL COME A DAY YOU'LL KNOW HOW IT FEELS 
 
TO HAVE YOUR ACES TRUMPED, AND BE TAKE FOR A CHUMP 
 
NOW THERE'S A GREEN LIGHT SO SPIN YOUR WHEELS
