[Verse 1]
Am           Am            Am                         E
What you do, what you say, has a lot to do in how you live today.
E                 E              E                         Am
What you want and what you make, everybody knows it's only what you take.
Am               Am             Am                              E
What you see and what you hear, when it comes around again it's not too clear.
E            E            E                        Am
You say yes, they say no, everybody's talking everywhere you go.

[Chorus]
    Dm                        G
You try to give another man a helping hand,
    C                                Am
and he will take your kindness for a weaker stand.
Dm                           G
Never do to others what they do to you,
C                          Esus4   E7      N.C.
try to find another way to make it through.

[Verse 2]
Am            Am           Am                             E
What I say is what I know, try to get a favour going from door to door.
    E                   E                   E                      Am
You stop and pray, it's out of style, you a step ahead, it takes a hundred miles.
Am            Am           Am                             E
What I say is what I know, try to get a favour going from door to door.
    E                              E             E                            Am
You stop and pray, you know that's out of style, get a step ahead, it takes a hundred miles.

[Chorus]
         Dm                        G
Now, you try to give another man a helping hand,
C                                Am
he will take your kindness for a weaker stand.
Dm                           G
Never do to others what they do to you,
              C                         Esus4    E7      N.C.
you've got to do it to them before they do it to you.

[Outro] (To Fade)
Am              Am            Am                         E
What you do and what you say, has a lot to do in how you live today.
E                 E              E                         Am
What you want and what you make, everybody knows it's only what you take.
Am               Am             Am                                  E
What you see and what you hear, when it comes around again it's not gonna be the same thing.
        E                         E
Because you're gonna say yes, and they're gonna say no
    E                                   Am
and everybody's gonna talk and talk and bla bla everywhere you go

    Am              Am            
You try to give another man a helping hand, you know what he's gonna do?
           Am                              E
He's gonna take your kindness for a weaker stand
    E                               E              
You try to do for others what you'd like them to do to you
E                         Am
Ah! ah! forget it! It's gonna be some other kind thing!

Am              Am            
So you try to give another man, ah! listen, a helping hand?
Am                         E
He will take your kindness for a weaker stand!
E                 E              E                         Am
Never do to others what they do to you
