Paul Simon - Thats Why God Made The Movies

      A7           |E7            |B7+5  
   When I was born my mother died 

        |Gmaj7   C#m7-5   |Cmaj7 
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye 

F#        |G#m              |  | 
   I said, "Where you goin'? 

F#dim Em  |D 
I'm   just born" 

             |E       E/D#      |E/D               
She said I'll only be gone for a while 
  
   C#7            |F#9           | 
My mother loved to leave in style 

B                        |      |E7 |A7 |E7 | 
  That's why God made the movies 


A7             |E7                   |B7+5  
   Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes 

         |Gmaj7           C#m7-5        |Cmaj7 
Until the doctor came and turned out the light 

F#       |G#m          |   
   Then I packed my bag 

   |F#dim Em |D 
And my    nametag 

   |E          E/D#    |E/D               
And stole away into the night 

C#7                |F#9           | 
Hoping things would work out right 

B                        |      |E7 | 
  That's why God made the movies 


 E       D/F#  E/G#   |A   | 
 Say you will, say you will 

            G#m     F#m    |Emaj7        | 
 Say you'll take me to your loving breast 

                                |F#m7      | 
 Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness 

B9                             |C#m | 
   The way the ladies sometimes do 


B E       D/F#   E/G#   |A    | 
  Say you won't, say you won't 

               G#m      F#m   |Emaj7    | 
 Say you won't leave me for no other man 

                            |F#m7  E B/D#| 
 Say you'll love me just the way I am 

 Tacet                 | 
 Say you will, baby now 

                           |E7  | 
 Say you will, just say you will 

A7        |E7  | 
   Say you will 


A7           |E7            |B7+5  
   When I was born my mother died 

        |Gmaj7   C#m7-5   |Cmaj7 
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye 

F#    |G#m           |   
   And since that day 

    |F#dim Em |D 
I've paid  my  way 

     |E       E/D#      |E/D               
The notorious boy of the wild 

 C#7          |F#9                       | 
Adopted by the wolves when he was a child 

B                |                | 
  That's why God.  That's why God. 

                        |E7    | 
 That's why God made the movies
