Intro: d- G D D G D D G D D G D
D G
Oh I took a wrong turn, it was the right turn
D Dsus D D7 D
My turn to have me a ball
G
Boys at the shop told me just where to stop
G D
If I wanted to play for it all
G D Dsus
I didn't know I'd find her on daytime TV
E A G A D
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three
I chose my apparel, I wore a beer barrel
And they rolled me to the very first row
I held a big sign that said, "Kiss me I'm a baker
And Monty I sure need the dough"
Then I grabbed that sucker by the throat until he called on me
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
G D
And I don't want what Jay's got on his table
G D
Or the box Carol Merrill points to on the floor
G D
No I'll hold out just as long as I am able
E A D
Or until I can unlock that lucky door
G
Well, she's no big deal to most folks
D Dsus
But she's everything to me
E A G A D
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
