Mrs. Robinson

This is written up in the June 2007 issue of Acoustic Guitar.  If you want to sound like the original, capo 2 and play this on a 12-string.

Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.

 

Coo, coo, cachoo, Mrs. Robinson.  Jesus loves you more than you will know.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.  Heaven holds a place for those who pray.

Hey, hey, hey.  Hey, hey, hey.

 

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes.

Put it in the pantry with your cupcakes.

It's a little secret, just the Robinson's affair.

Most of all you got to hide it from the kids.

 

Coo, coo, cachoo, Mrs. Robinson.  Jesus loves you more than you will know.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.  Heaven holds a place for those who pray.

Hey, hey, hey.  Hey, hey, hey.

 

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon. Going to the candidates' debate.

Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose.

Every way you look at it you lose

 

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?  A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.  Joltin' Joe has left and gone away.

Hey, hey, hey.  Hey, hey, hey.
