[Verse]

                F#m
      Under my thumb's
           E 
      The girl
          D 
      Who once had me down
               F#m
      Under my thumb's
          E
      The girl
               D
      Who once pushed me around


[Chorus]

                   A
      It's down to me
      D                      B
       The difference in the clothes she wears
                   F#m
      It's down to me
                     E
      The change has come
            D        A
      She's under my thumb

      (Ain't it the truth babe)


[Verse]

               F#m
      Under my thumb's
           E 
      A squirming dog
             D 
      Who's just had her day
               F#m
      Under my thumb's
        E 
      A girl
              D 
      Who has just changed her ways


[Chorus]

                   A
      It's down to me (yes it is)
          D                 B
      The way she does just what she's told
              F#m
      Down to me 
                     E
      The change has come
            D        A
      She's under my thumb

      (It's all right)


[Verse]

                F#m 
      Under my thumb's
         E
      A siamese 
      D
      Cat of a girl
               F#m
      Under my thumb 
                E        
      She's the sweetest
      D       
      Pet in the world


[Chorus]

                   A
      It's down to me
          D                  
      The way she talks 
                 B       
      When she's spoken to
              F#m
      Down to me
                     E
      The change has come
            D         A
      She's under my thumb

      (Take it easy babe)


[Instrumental]

      The way she talks 
                  B            
      When she's spoken to

[Verse]

                F#m
       Under my thumb
           E
       Her eyes
                D
       Are just kept to herself
                F#m
       Under my thumb
             E
       Well, I -- I can
       D    
       Still look at someone else
   

[Chorus]

                   A
      It's down to me (oh, that's what I said)
           D                  
      The way she talks 
                 B            
      When she's spoken to
              F#m
      Down to me
                     E
      The change has come
            D        A
      She's under my thumb


[Outro]*

       It's all right     }    *REPEAT and FADE OUT
       Take it easy babe  }
