[Chorus]
GWhatever you say, say nothing, when you D7speak about you know Gwhat
For if you know who should Ghear you, A7you know what you'll D7get
They'll Gtake you off to you know where, for you Cwouldn't know how Glong
So for you know who's sake don't let anyone, D7hear you singing this Gsong
[Verse 1]
Now you all know what I'm speaking of, when I D7mention you know Gwhat
And I fear it's very Gdangerous, to A7even mention D7that
For the Gother it is always near, alCthough you may not Gsee
But if anyone asks who told you that, D7please don't mention Gme
[Chorus]
GWhatever you say, say nothing, when you D7speak about you know Gwhat
For if you know who should Ghear you, A7you know what you'll D7get
They'll Gtake you off to you know where, for you Cwouldn't know how Glong
So for you know who's sake don't let anyone, D7hear you singing this Gsong
[Verse 2]
And you all Gknow who I'm speaking of, when I D7mention you know Gwho
And if you know who could Ghear me, you A7know what he'd D7do
So Gif you don't see me around, Cyou'll know why I'm Gaway
But if anyone asks you where I've gone, D7here's what you must Gsay
[Chorus]
GWhatever you say, say nothing, when you D7speak about you know Gwhat
For if you know who should Ghear you, A7you know what you'll D7get
They'll Gtake you off to you know where, for you Cwouldn't know how Glong
So for you know who's sake don't let anyone, D7hear you singing this Gsong
[Verse 3]
Well Gthat's enough about so and so, not to D7mention such and Gsuch
I'd better end my song Gnow, sure I've A7already said too D7much
For the Gless you say, the less you hear, and the Cless you'll go astGray
And the less you think, the less you do, and the D7more you'll hear them Gsay
[Chorus]
GWhatever you say, say nothing,  when you D7talk about you know wGhat
For if you know Cwho could Ghear you, A7you know what you'd D7get
For they'd tGake you off to you know where, for you wCouldn't know how Glong
So for you know who's sake don't let anyone, D7hear you singing this sGong
GWhatever you say, say nothing,  when you D7talk about you know wGhat
For if you know Cwho could Ghear you, A7you know what you'd D7get
For they'd tGake you off to you know where, for you wCouldn't know how Glong
So for you know who's sake don't let anyone, D7hear you singing this sGong
