           A                  D
There's an old piano and they play it hot, 
           A
behind the green door. 
           D
Don't know what they're doin', but they laugh a lot, 
           A
behind the green door. 
            E      E7            D
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's 
           A
behind the green door. 

 A             D                     A
(Knocked once, tried to tell 'em I'd been there.) 
 D                           A
(Door slammed, hospitality's thin there.) 
 E  E7  D                    A
(Wonder just what's goin' on in there.) 

       A                         D
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud, 
           A
behind the green door. 
       D
When I said, "Joe sent me," someone laughed out loud, 
           A
behind the green door. 
      E       E7             D
All I want to do is join the happy crowd, 
           A
behind the green door.
