[Intro]
|D |Aaug |Dm7 |G7/D |
[Verse 1]
D Aaug Dm7 Dm6
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And stops my mind from wandering.
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
Where it will go __
[Verse 2]
D Aaug Dm7 Dm6
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And kept my mind from wandering.
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
Where it will go __
[Bridge 1]
D A7 D A7 D
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right, where I belong,
A7 D
I'm right where I belong.
A E7 A E7
See the people standing there who disagree and never win,
A E7 A
And wonder why they don't get in my door.
[Verse 3]
D Aaug Dm7 Dm6
I'm painting the room in a colourful way,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And when my mind is wandering,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
There I will go __ Hey, hey!
[Instrumental](Lead over)

D A7 D A7 D
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right, where I belong,

A E7 A E7
Silly people run around, who worry me and never ask me,
A E7 A
Why they don't get past my door.
[Verse 4]
D Aaug Dm7 Dm6
I'm taking the time to do a number of things,
Dm7 Dm6 G7
That weren't important yesterday,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And I still go __
[Verse 5]
D Aaug Dm7 Dm6
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And stops my mind from wandering.
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
Where it will go __
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
Where it will go __
[Coda] (Fade)

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in,
Dm7 Dm6 G7/D
And stops my mind from wandering.

Where it will go __

Notes.
1. This version arose from an attempt to harmonise the melody on an acoustic
without barre chords. It differs structurally from any previous versions in that
it matches the distinct three chord outro on the Instrumental. It also adds some
extra texture to the latter part of each Verse and adds a haunting quality to the
Bridges.
2. The transitional chords 'Dm7-Dm6-G7/D' are successively created by lifting off
one finger at a time from the three-fingered 'Dm7'.
