INTRO: E

CHORUS:
E         A                      E
Midnight, one more night without sleepin'..
A                                E
watchin', till the morning comes creepin'.
B7          A                         E
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?

#1.
E                             A
There's an old piano and they play it hot
           E
behind the green door.
           A
Don't know what they're doin' but they laugh
                 E
a lot behind the green door.
            B7                   A
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out
                  E
what's behind the green door.

#2.
E             A                     E
Knocked once, tried to tell 'em I'd been there.
A                           E
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there.
B7      A                    E
Wonder, just what's goin' on in there.

#3.
E                                A
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smoky cloud
           E
behind the green door.
       A
When I said, Joe sent me, someone laughed out loud
           E
behind the green door.
      B7                     A
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind
    E
the green door.
