KING MIDAS IN REVERSE- The Hollies/Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

G                  C
If you could only see me
G                       C  CaddF C CaddA
And know exactly who I am
G                     C
You wouldn't want to be me
      B7
Why I can assure you of that
G                   C
I'm not the guy to run with
G                            C
Cos I'll throw you off the line
G                       C
I'll break you and destroy you
      B7
Given time

CHORUS:
G                      Fmaj7   FaddG
He's King Midas with a curse
C                     G    G/C  G
He's King Midas in reverse
G                      Fmaj7  FaddG
He's King Midas with a curse
C                     G
He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on the way we are
So even though I lose you
We'd be better off by far

BRIDGE:
     Bm
He's not the man to hold your trust
BmaddBb                         Bm7          E
Everything he touches turns to dust in his hands
Bm
Nothing he can do is right
BmaddBb                     Bm7         E
He'd even like to sleep at night, but he can't

CHORUS

I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason and my soul
CHORUS


CaddF: x 3 2 0 1 1  CaddA: x 3 2 0 3 0  FaddG: x x 3 2 1 3
BmaddBb: x 2 4 3 3 2  Bm7: x 2 4 2 3 2


NOTE:  This Graham Nash song was a hit for the Hollies, but I know it as
a bonus track on the CD version of CSNY's Four Way Street.
