Lyrics and Chords


[South Pacific]

[ Adim7 = xx4545 ]

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair (3x)
And send him on his way

/ D Em7 D GA7 / / D Em7 D G / D A9 D Em7 D A7 / 

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms (3x)
And send him on his way

... / D A7 D7 - - - /

Don't try to patch it up
Tear it up, tear it up
Wash him out, dry him out
Push him out, fly him out
Cancel him and let him go
Yeah, sister

/ G - / / / / D - E7 - A F / A A7 /

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair (3x)
And send him on his way

... / D A7 D - /

   If a man don't understand you
   If you fly on separate beams
   Waste no time, make a change
   Ride that man right off your range
   Rub him out of the roll call
   And drum him out of your dreams

   / G Am7 G7 D7 / G D7 G - / C C/B Am7 C / G Gmaj7 Em G6 /
      / A7 - Eb7 - / D7 - - - /

   Oho! If you laugh at different comics
   If you root for different teams
   Waste no time, weep no more
   Show him what the door is for
   Rub him out of the roll call
   And drum him out of your dreams

You can't light a fire when the wood's all wet, no
You can't make a butterfly strong, hmm, hmm
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong

/ G G7 G G7 / / / G7 - Adim7 - /

You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour
Oh no, oh no

/ Em7 - Em6 - / D - Bm7 - / D - A - / 

   If his eyes get dull and fishy
   When you look for glints and gleams
   Waste no time, make a switch
   Drop him in the nearest ditch
   Rub him out of the roll call
   And drum him out of your dreams
   Oho, oho

   ... / E7 - - - A7 - - - /

I went and washed that man right outa my hair (3x)
And sent him on his way

She went and washed that man right outa her hair (3x)
And sent him on his way
