Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 If someone  stood up in  a crowd
 And raised  his voice up way  out loud
 And waved  his arm and shook  his leg
  (XX0131)
 You'd notice him
If  someone in the movie  show
 Yelled "Fire  in the second  row
 This whole  place is a powder  keg!"
 You'd notice him
And even  without clucking  like a hen
Everyone  gets noticed,  now and then,
 Unless,  of course, that personage  should be
 Invisible,  inconsequential me!
Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been  my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look  right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know  I'm there...
 I tell ya
Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been  my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look  right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know  I'm there...
 Suppose  you was a little  cat
 Residin'  in a person's  flat
 Who fed  you fish and scratched  your ears?
 You'd notice him
 Suppose  you was a woman,  wed
 And sleepin'  in a double  bed
 Beside  one man, for seven  years
 You'd notice him
 A human  being's made  of more than air
 With all  that bulk, you're bound  to see him there
 Unless  that human bein'  next to you
 Is unimpressive,  undistinguished
You know who...
 Shoulda been  my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can look  right through me
 Walk right by me
 And never know  I'm there...
 I tell ya
Cellophane
 Mister Cellophane
 Shoulda been  my name
 Mister Cellophane
 'Cause you can walk  right by me
 Look right through me
 And never know I'm there
Never  even know  I'm there.
 Hope I didn't take up too much of your time.
