          F#m
Under my thumb's
     E
The girl
    D
Who once had me down
          F#m
Under my thumb's
     E
The girl
          D
Who once pushed me around

Chorus:
              A
It's down to me
     D                  B
The difference in the clothes she wears
            F#m
It's down to me
                E
The change has come
       D         A
She's under my thumb
(Ain't it the truth babe)

Under my thumb's
A squirming dog
Who just had her day
Under my thumb's
A girl
Who has just
Changed her ways

Chorus:
It's down to me (yes it is)
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
(It's all right)

Under my thumb's
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest pet
In the world

Chorus:
It's down to me
The way she talks
When she's spoken to
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
(Take it easy babe)
 It's down to me
 The way she talks
 When she's spoken to
 Down to me
 The change has come
 She's under my thumb
 (It's all right)

Under my thumb
Her eyes
Are just kept to herself
Under my thumb
Well, I - I can still look
At someone else

Chorus:
 It's down to me
 The way she talks
 When she's spoken to
 Down to me
 The change has come
 She's under my thumb

 It's all right
 Take it easy babe
