Rolling Stones - Get Off Of My Cloud
Author And Composer:Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Rock
Did you know:The song was written as a follow-up single to the successful "Satisfaction".
The Stones have said that the song is written as a reaction to their sudden popularity
After the success of "Satisfaction".
The song deals with their aversion to people's expectations of them.
Keith Richards says: "'Get off of My Cloud' was basically a response to people knocking
On our door asking us for the follow-up to 'Satisfaction'... We thought, 'At last.
We can sit back and maybe think about events.' Suddenly there's the knock at the door
And of course what came out of that was 'Get off of My Cloud'

| E A |
| I live in an apartment on the |
| B A E A B A |
| ninety-ninth floor of my block |
| E |
| And I sit at home |
| A B |
| looking out the window imagining |
| A E A B A |
| The world has stopped |
| E A B |
| Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up |
| A E A B A |
| like a Union Jack |
| E A |
| And says, I've won five pounds |
| B A E A B A |
| if I have his kind of detergent pack |
| Chorus: |
| E Abm |
| I said, Hey! (hey) You! (you) |
| A B |
| Get off of my cloud |
| E Abm A B |
| Hey! (hey) You! (you) Get off of my cloud |

| B E A B A |

| E A B |
| The telephone is ringing I say, "Hi, it's me. |
| A E A B A |
| Who is it there on the line?" |
| E A |
| A voice says, "Hi, hello, |
| B A E A B A |
| how are you, well, I guess I'm doin' fine" |
| E |
| He says, "It's three a.m., |
| A |

| B A E A B A |
| Don't you people ever wanna go to bed? |
| E A |
| Just 'cause you feel so good, |
| B A E A B A |
| do you have to drive me out of my head?" |
| Repeat Chorus |
| E |
| I was sick and tired, |
| A B |
| fed up with this and decided to |
| A E A B A |
| Take a drive downtown |
| E A |
| It was so very quiet and peaceful there |
| B A E A B A |
| was nobody, not a soul around |
| E A B |
| I laid myself out, I was so tired |
| A E A B A |
| and I started to dream |
| E A B |
| In the morning the parking tickets were just like |
| A E A B A |
| A flag stuck on my window screen |
| Bridge: |
