[/][F] [/][F] [/][G↓] 


I [C] used to drive a [F] race car, 
but I [G] won every single time [C] 
I [C] once met the great Elvis [F] Presley 
[G] way back in his [/][C] prime [Dm↓]      [Em↓]  [/]     


[F] And the pilot had a [G] heart attack, yeah, so 
[/][C] I had to la- [G] and the plane [/][Am]     
And I [F] once saved a little kid from [G] drownin', 
and I in- [F] vented cellophane  [G] 


[C] I used to be a [F] millionaire, 
I'd drop a [G] thousand bucks a day  [C] 
That [C] only made me all the more [F] lonely 
so I [G] threw it all away [/][C] [Dm↓][Em↓][|]       


And [F] I've lived almost [G] everywhere, 
probably right [/][C]in your own [G] neighbour- [/][Am] hood
[F] I once broke out of [G] prison 
and I [F] hid out in the [G] woods


It was [C] there that I discovered a [F] dinosaur, 
and I'd [G] drive a blue Cor- [C] vette
I [C] once swam clear across Lake [F] Erie 
with- [G] out even getting wet [/][C] [Dm↓][Em↓][/]        


[F] I'm the guy who [G] saved the show 'cause 
[/][C]I know how to [G] fix a [/][Am] fuse
Are these [F] pretzels compli- [G] mentary? 
Well, I [F] don't mind if I [G] do


I [C] used to play the gui- [F] tar myself 
'til a [G] press crushed my [C] hand
Have you [C] heard of the great Otis [F] Redding? 
Well, [G] I played in his [/][C] band [Dm↓][Em↓][/]

       
[F] I once worked as a [G] miner; 
I was an [/][C] actor for a little [G] while off in [/][Am] France
And my [F] uncle's cousin's [G] brother taught 
[F] Fred Astaire to [G] dance


So if you [C] ask me how to [F] tango 
I'll [G] wear down any rug  [C] 
Cause if you've [C] seen the way those kids all [F] dance today 
I [G] swear they're all on drugs [/][C] [Dm↓][Em↓][/] 


[F] I could drink me a [G] million drinks 
if a [/][C] million drinks [G] did appear [/][Am]     
But I [F] only got e- [G] nough 
for [F] one more little [G↓] beer
