[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I heard a preacher
On the corner
Rantin' like a crazy man
He say there trouble
Troubles comin'
I can see it like the back of my hand
Whoa, yeah
See it like the back of my hand

[Verse 2]
I've seen love
I've seen misery
Jammin' side by side on the stage
In the wind
Some mournful melody
I read it like the back of my hand, yeah

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
The back of my hand
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Mmm, mm

[Verse 3]
Oh, and there's a woman
With a hand out
And children throwin' lies in the sand
And someone [?] to read my fortune
I said I can read it like the back of my hand
Well, I said

[Verse 4]
Oh, I see dreams
I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's
Paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the back of my hand
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oh read it like the back of my hand
[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
