D			G 
Oh I took a wrong turn, it was the right turn 
D                   Dsus D D7 D 
My turn to have me a ball 
G 
Boys at the shop told me just where to stop 
     G                    D 
If I wanted to play for it all 
G                             D        Dsus 
I didn't know I'd find her on daytime TV 
   E                A              G    A       D 
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three 
 
  
I chose my apparel, I wore a beer barrel 
And they rolled me to the very first row 
I held a big sign that said, "Kiss me I'm a baker 
And Monty I sure need the dough" 
Then I grabbed that sucker by the throat until he called on me 
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three 
 
    G                                  D 
And I don't want what Jay's got on his table 
       G                                  D 
Or the box Carol Merrill points to on the floor 
   G                                  D 
No I'll hold out just as long as I am able 
   E              A              D 
Or until I can unlock that lucky door 
            G                     
Well, she's no big deal to most folks 
          D               Dsus  
But she's everything to me 
    E                       A              G    A       D 
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
