[Verse 1]
Dmaj7/A                       G            Gmaj7
 Hey, who's that stompin' all over my face?
Dmaj7/A                      G               Gmaj7
 Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace?
Dmaj7/A                      G                 Gmaj7
 Who's puttin' sponge in the bells I once rung?
Dmaj7/A               G               Gmaj7
 And taken my gypsy before she's begun
 
   Bm                     Em
To sing in the meaning of what's in my mind
  Bm                          Em
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine
Bm                          Em
Joining and a-listening and talking in rhymes
Bm                      Em
Stopping the feeling to wait for the time
 
[Chorus]
G                       A
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?
       Bm       D      Em   Em/G  F#m       Bm
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't           even sing
 
[Bridge]
F#m   G   Gmaj7     x2
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7/A                        G               Gmaj7
 And who's all hung up on that happiness thing?
Dmaj7/A                       G                   Gmaj7
 Who's tryin' to tune all the bells that he rings?
Dmaj7/A                      G                Gmaj7
 And who's in the corner and down on the floor
Dmaj7/A                     G                  Gmaj7
 With pencil and paper just countin' the score?
 
    Bm                        Em
And who's gonna act like he's just in between
    Bm                      Em
The line isn't black if you know that it's green
Bm                           Em
Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see
Bm                      Em
Who's coming on like he wanted to be
 
[Chorus]
G                       A
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?
       Bm       D      Em   Em/G  F#m       Bm
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't           even sing
 
[Bridge]
F#m   G   Gmaj7      x2
 
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7/A                       G           Gmaj7
 And who's coming home on old ninety-five?
Dmaj7/A                          G             Gmaj7
 Who's got the feeling, yeah, to keep him alive
Dmaj7/A                       G                   Gmaj7
 Though having it, sharing it ain't quite the same
Dmaj7/A                        G                Gmaj7
 To paint a golden nugget, you can't lay a claim
 
Bm                            Em
Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?
Bm                           Em
There it is, baby, don't you worry no more
Bm                             Em
Who should be sleeping but's a-writin' this song?
Bm                      Em
Wishing and a-hoping he weren't so damned wrong
 
[Chorus]
G                       A
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?
       Bm       D      Em         Bm
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing
 
[Outro]
G                       A
Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing?
       Bm       D      Em   Em/G  F#m       Bm
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't           even sing
F#m

In the last verse I guess it's "..whilst writing this song" instead of "...what's writing this song". That would make more sense. But I'm not sure :-)

I think it sounds better if you transpose this down 2 steps and play with a capo. Also, it should be Gmaj7 rather than just G in the verses.
