arpeggios:
  g8  /   g8  /   g8 /   g8   2x 

     4x

                                          
I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
Why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates
                                                
I've heard that good things will come to he who waits
                                      
I should be riding on a float in the hit parade
Instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade
                              
Another verse in the doormat serenade

                     
Won't you put me on top
won't you put me on top, or change the odds
won't you put me on top
                                          
or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
                    

                                     
Oh, at least put some hope in the box for me
'Cause it's only black and white and not a lot of each
                                               
There's a remote on the shelf, but it's out of reach
                     
Won't you put me on top
won't you put me on top, or change the odds
won't you put me on top
                                          
or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box

   

                   
Put some hope in the bottom of the box for me
           
I need it 

[solo] (the solo is loosely the melody to The Beatles' "She Said". 
The words are just there for a guide, they are not sung))

                                    
     
(she said                     
                               
who put all those things in your head
                               g8     (lower octave)
things that make me feel that I'm mad

(octaves)
/  /  / / / / /
and shes making  me feel that

[2 notes only]
         / /      

                     
Won't you put me on top
won't you put me on top again, or change the odds
or in the least put some hope
                                          
or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
   
                                          
or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
