Capo II
 
Cmaj7 F  Cmaj7 F
 
Cmaj7                   F
Who's that stomping all over my face?            
Cmaj7                       F
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?     
Cmaj7                       F
Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung    
    Cmaj7             F
And taking my gypsy before she's begun           
   Am                     Dm
To singing the meaning of what's in my mind      
  Am                          Dm
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine.   
Am                        Dm
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes      
Am                      Dm                  F  G
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times.      
 
F                       G
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,      
       Am       C      Dm      Dm Em   F
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't   even    sing.    
 
Cmaj7 F   Cmaj7 F
 
    Cmaj7                     F
And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?   
Cmaj7                        F
Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings?
    Cmaj7                   F
And who's in the corner and down on the floor    
     Cmaj7                 F
With pencil and paper just counting the score?   
    Am*                           Dm
And who's trying to act like he's just in between? 
    Am*                       Dm
The night isn't black, if you know that it's green.  
Am*                          Dm
Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see  
Am*                     Dm            F  G
Who's coming on like he wanted to be.              
 
F                       G
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,      
       Am       C      Dm      Dm Em   F
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't   even    sing.    
 
Cmaj7 F   Cmaj7 F
 
    Cmaj7                        F
And who's coming home on the old ninety five?     
Cmaj7                    F
Who's got the feeling to keep him alive,         
       Cmaj7                 F
Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same
   Cmaj7                     F
It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim   
Am                            Dm
Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor 
Am                          Dm
There it is baby, don't you worry no more        
Am                             Dm
Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song 
Am                      Dm                       F  G
Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong.                                                  
 
F                       G
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,      
       Am       C      Dm      Dm Em   F
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't   even    sing.    
 
F                       G
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing,      
       Am       C      Dm      Dm Em   F
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't   even    sing.

Great chords, but I think the F chords in the verses should be an Fmaj7. Edit: After Listening, the chords are correct, but Neil plays an Fmaj7 chord in his solo concerts for all of them apart from the first F in the chorus. He also doesn't use a capo and plays in the Key of C
