Reviewing The Situation by Oliver Twist
Reviewing The Situation
If you don't want to play the Gm7b5 (3x332x), a Bbm works too. And if you have a problem with barre chords
it might be easier to transpose it down to Em.
[Verse 1]
Fm C7
A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Gm7b5 C7 Fm
Joking apart -- hasn't he?
Bbm Bbm7 Eb7 Ab
And though I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint
G7 Gm7b5 C7
I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint
Fm
I'm reviewing the situation
C7
Can a fellow be a villain all his life
All the trials, and tribulation
Fm
Better settle down and get myself a wife
C7 Fm C7
And a wife would cook and sew for me
Fm C7
And come for me, and go for me
Fm C7
And go for me and nag at me
Fm C7
The fingers she will wag at me
Fm C7
The money she will take from me
Bbm C7
A misery, she'll make from me...
Fm C7 Fm C7
I think I'd better think it out again!
[Verse 2]
Fm C7
A wife you can keep, anyway
Gm7b5 C7 Fm
I'd rather sleep, anyway
Bbm Bbm7 Eb7 Ab
Left without anyone in the world and I'm starting from now
G7 Gm7b5 C7
So how to win friends and to influence people, so how
Fm
I'm reviewing the situation
C7
I must quickly look up everyone I know
Titled people, with a station
Fm
Who can help me make a real impressive show
C7 Fm C7
I will own a suite at Claridge's
Fm C7
And run a fleet of carriages
Fm C7
And wave at all the duchesses
Fm C7
With friendliness, as much as is
Fm C7
Befitting of my new estate
Bbm Gm7b5 C7
"Good morrow to you, magistrate!" ...
Fm C7 Fm C7
I think I'd better think it out again
[Verse 3 - skipped in soundtrack version]
Fm C7
So where shall I go -- somebody?
Gm7b5 C7 Fm
Who do I know? Nobody!
Bbm Bbm7 Eb7 Ab
All my dearest companions have always been villains and thieves
G7 Gm7b5 C7
So at my time of life I should start turning over new leaves?
Fm
I'm reviewing the situation
C7
If you want to eat, you've got to earn a bob
Is it such a humiliation
Fm
For a robber to perform an honest job
C7 Fm C7
So a job I'm getting, possibly
Fm C7
I wonder who my boss'll be?
Fm C7
I wonder if he'll take to me?
Fm C7
What bonuses he'll make to me?
Fm C7
I'll start at eight and finish late
Bbm Gm7b5 C7
At normal rate, and all, but wait
Fm C7 Fm C7
I think I'd better think it out again
[Verse 4]
Fm C7
What happens when I'm seventy
Gm7b5 C7 Fm
Must come a time, seventy
Bbm Bbm7 Eb7 Ab
When you're old, and it's cold and who cares if you live or you die
G7 Gm7b5 C7
Your one consolation's the money you may have put by
Fm
I'm reviewing the situation
C7
I'm a bad one and a bad one I shall stay
You'll be seeing no transformation
Fm
But it's wrong to be a rogue in every way
C7 Fm C7
I don't want nobody hurt for me
Fm C7
Or made to do the dirt for me
Fm C7
This rotten life is not for me
Fm C7
It's getting far too hot for me
Fm C7
There is no in between for me
Bbm Gm7b5 C7
But who will change the scene for me
[Outro]
Fm Bbm
Don't want no one to rob for me
Gm7b5 C7
But who will find a job for me?
Fm C7 Fm [C7]
I think I'd better think it out again! [Hey!]
