       F           C7                        F
Turn around every way, looking back, another day

                           C7                            F
The race is on, I'm out to win, Before I start, I must begin

A                   D           A
Here we go round in circles to nowhere

A                  D               A
Mulberry bush just won't let me see

                D         A
If I am lonely when I arrive there

A                  D            C#                    D
Mulberry bush will you shelter me when I am naked and cold

    Bm                           F#m
Yet no one must see, oh they're looking at me

          C#m                     D
When I am straight I feel that my world is real

Ebm                                 Abm
With people running round and round bringing one another down

                               Bb7                         C
People running round and round bringing one another down

A                      D           A
Here we go round, I'm looking for someone

A                D          A
Mulberry bush is calling to me

                            D           A
Red lights and green ones, I can't be nervous

                   D             A
Mulberry bush your bright eyes I see

Here we go round in circles to nowhere
Mulberry bush just won't let me see
If I am lonely when I arrive there
Mulberry bush will you shelter me.
