Dear Sir, Not only should most of your Am's be A7's, but the
G that appears over the words "Garlic" "Bony" and
"Spotty" should be a C/G. Actually the Am that
appears over the words "Light" "Sight" and "Tight"
is correct, but the G that comes after it is all
wrong! It should be a C7. Furthermore, the G's that
appear over the words "Cool" and "Plain" should be
G9's. Last but not least, Every D except for the
ones that appear over the words "Turn" "Helps" and
"Can't" should all be F#dim's...Come to think of it,
all of the D's that DO appear over those words,
should actually be D7's. There! Now I feel alotbetter!

This is the version from BBC Sessions 1962 - 1977
When I Turn Off The Living Room Light Raymond Douglas Davis
(Bass run G-A-B to…)
Who (C)cares if you're (C/B)Jewish and your (Am)breath smells of (C/G)garlic
And your (E)nose is a shiny red (Am)light? (Am/G)
To (F)me you are (D7/F#)gorgeous and (C)everything's (A7short)right
When I (D7)turn off the living room (G)light.
Your (C)clothes are old-(C/B)fashioned, your (Am)knuckles are (C/G)bony,
Your (E)hair looks a terrible (Am)sight, (Am/G)
But I (F)don't have to (D7/F#)see you the (C)way that you (A7short)are
When I (D7)turn off the (G)living room (C)light.
When I (E)turn off the living room (Am)light (Am/G)
I (F)don't have to (D7/F#)see you the (C)way that you (A7short)are
When I (D7)turn off the (G)living room (C)light.
Well it's (F)not that (D7/F#)you are (C)ugly, (C/E)
And (F)I'm not (D7/F#)being (C)cruel, (C/E)
It (F)helps me (D7/F#)to re(C)lax, dear,(A7short)
It (D7)helps to keep me (G9)cool.
Now (F)I am (D7/F#)not in(C)tending (C/E)
To (F)make you (D7/F#)feel a(C)shamed, (C/E)
What's (F)wrong in (D7/F#)me pre(C)tending,(A7short)
'Cause you (D7)can't help being (G9)plain?
Your (C)nose may be (C/B)bulbous, your (Am)face may be (C/G)spotty,
Your (E)skin may be wrinkled and (Am)tight, (Am/G)
But I (F)don't want to (D7/F#)see you the (C)way that you (A7short)are,
So I (D7)turn off the living room (G)light.
We (C)don't feel so (C/B)ugly, we (Am)don't feel so (C/G)draggy,
We (E)don't feel so twisted up(Am)tight, (Am/G)
And we (F)don't feel as (D7/F#)ugly as (C)we really (A7short)are
When we (D7)turn off the (G)living room (C)light.
When we (E)turn off the living room (Am)light (Am/G)
We (F)don't feel as (D7/F#)ugly as (C)we really (A7short)are
When we (D7)turn off the (G)living room (C)light.(C/B) (Am) (Am/G) (D7/F#)(D7/F#)(G)(G) (C)
