The Bee Gees  1968 (Idea) *

G Bm C D

G           Bm
I started a joke, 
C                 D           G      Bm C
which started the whole world crying, 
    D        G  Bm C
but I didn't see 
         D           G  Bm   C D
that the joke was on me,  oh no 
   
G            Bm
I started to cry, 
C                       D     G       Bm C
which started the whole world laughing 
       D        G   Bm C
Oh, if I'd only seen 
         D           G
that the joke was on me        
      
Em              Bm
I looked at the skies, 
           C
running my hands 
        G
over my eyes, 
    Bm            Em
and I fell out of bed, 
           Am
hurting my head 
                     D
from things that I'd said       

     G         Bm
Till I finally died, 
C                 D           G     Bm C
which started the whole world living 
       D        G   Bm C
Oh, if I'd only seen 
         D           G
that the joke was on me    

Em              Bm
I looked at the skies, 
           C
running my hands 
        G
over my eyes, 
    Bm            Em
and I fell out of bed, 
           Am
hurting my head 
                     D
from things that I'd said      

     G         Bm
Till I finally died, 
C                 D           G     Bm C
which started the whole world living 
       D        G   Bm C
Oh, if I'd only seen, 
         D            G  Bm  C
that the joke was one me,oh  no
         D            G  Bm  C  D  G  Bm C D  G
that the joke was one me           oh
