The Guess Who is a rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba that was one of the first Canadian groups to establish a major successful following both in their own country as well as abroad. In their late 60s and early 70s heyday, the guys took influence from late period British invasion bands as well as stuck alongside them on the charts. They were notably the first Canadian rock n roll group to have a #1 hit in the United States thanks to the success of 1970's "American Woman".

Am7 Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring Fmaj7 Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing Em9 (022032) or (020002) Not this mornin'
Am7 I don't wanna think about the night before Fmaj7 Or maybe it's a bore behind that open door Em9 Got no time for that this mornin'
Dmaj7 If I had the mind or I had the time C Maybe I could throw together a new kind of rhyme Dmaj7 And tell about my warnin'
CBm7 But it's too late now CBm It's too late now CAm7 It's too late now
Am7 I don't wanna think about a runaway Dad Fmaj7 That took away the only thing that I've ever had Em9 Don't even miss him this mornin'
Am7 I don't wanna think about a cold goodbye Fmaj7 Or a high school buddy got a little too high Em9 I can't help him out this mornin'
Dmaj7 Reviewers laugh at me so I go out to sea C And perhaps it's just as well, 'cause I'd rather be in hell Dmaj7 Than be a wealthy man this mornin'
CBm7 But it's too late now CBm It's too late now CAm7 It's too late now
ADadd9/A (x02232) Whatever happened to images, 'cause now they're gone ADadd9/A And worn out phrases just keep a-hangin' on ADadd9/A Whatever happened to homes as opposed to houses? ADadd9/A A conversation swaying as the evening drowses Dadd9/AADadd9/A It's just like 4 6 2 O 1 Dadd9/AADadd9/A It's just like 4 6 2 O 1
ADadd9/A Whatever happened to early morning urban skies? ADadd9/A And broken faces, half with melting eyes ADadd9/A Enough of riddles that just play with time ADadd9/A 'Cause I'm still here and I can't beg a dime Dadd9/AA I'm back here in 4 6 2 O 1
Dadd9/AADadd9/A I'm back here in 4 6 2 O 1
A Somethin better's waitin' for me 'round the corner now Dadd9/AA I gotta find it and try and hang on for a little while Dadd9/AA Back here in 4 6 2 O 1, yeah Dadd9/AADadd9/A Mmm, there's gotta be a few small changes made
Am7 Don't wanna listen to my telephone ring Fmaj7 Or sing ding-a-ling or talk about a thing Em9 Leave me alone this mornin'
