1) Nelson was a rich man.
F C
He also was a cad.
F C
He should have been more thankful
G
For the blessings that he had.
C G
A house with maids and servants,
F E
A swimming pool for guests,
F C
Of all the parties, it was said that
G
Nelson's were the best.
Am Em
But unknown to the public,
F C
He had a little vice.
F C
He couldn't pass a slot machine,
G
However steep the price.
Am Em
It slipped right through his fingers.
F C
It nearly broke his heart.
F C
But foolish men and money have been
G
Known to quickly part.
C G
2) There was a girl named Jody,
F C
A girl who had it all,
F C
A gorgeous figure, deep brown eyes,
G
A sultry Southern drawl.
C G
Her phone was always ringing
F C
With date requests from men.
F C
They promised her the earth if she would
G
Be more than a friend.
Am Em
But to their disadvantage,
F C
She strung them all along.
F C
A promise here, a falsehood there,
G
She let it go too long.
Am Em
For one day, she awakened
F C
And found herself alone.
F C
The men that once were in her life
G
Had wisened up and grown.
F F/G
It's like I always say:
C Am
Chorus) What Goes Around, comes around,
F G
And you'll know I'm right when you hear the sound
C Am Em F G
Of a proud man's ego falling to the ground.
C C/Bb
Every person gets their due.
F/A Ab
Now I am convinced it's true:
C G Csus4 C
What goes around will come right back around.
Csus4 C F F/G
Round and round and round and round.

3) Duncan was a scholar,
F C
A recent Ph.D.
F C
His cleverness was known to all.
G
He made it plain to see.
C G
He'd listen to their questions
F E
And answer them with ease.
F C
No problem was too difficult
G
To tax his expertise.
Am Em
But people who are clever
F C
Are often pompous, too.
F C
Their brilliance might be stunning,
G
But degrees are nothing new.
Am Em
And Duncan learned the hard way.
F C
His marriage fell apart.
F C
And no amount of knowledge
G
Could repair his broken heart.
F F/G
It's like I always say:
Chorus) What Goes Around, comes around,
F G
And you'll know I'm right when you hear the sound
C Am Em F G
Of a proud man's ego falling to the ground.
C C/Bb
Every person gets their due.
F/A Ab
Now I am convinced it's true:
C G Csus4 C
What goes around will come right back around.
E Am
Bridge) Seen it a hundred times.
F C
It's always the same.
Bb F C
Paybacks are the nature of the game.
G Am
Try so hard to beat the system,
F Ebdim
Breaking all the rules.
C C/G Gsus4
Cheating is the opiate of fools, boy.
G C G
It comes right back around.

4) In every town and country,
F C
A man is all alone.
F C
His mailbox is empty
G
And no sound comes from his phone.
Am Em
He wants to change his lifestyle,
F C
And someday, soon he will.
F C
For patience is rewarded
G
And an empty space will fill.
F F/G
It's like I always say:
C Am
Chorus) What Goes Around, comes around,

And you'll know I'm right when you hear the sound

Round and round and round and round.
Csus4 C
Round and round and round and round.
