[Verse 1]
        Em                         B7             Em
Bust my back on the Levy, broke my strings on the BBC
         Am                               D              B7  
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island, paid my dues at the Marquee
        Em                         Am
Slagged off by the N.M.E., lost my stash and my virginity
        C7         B7  Em
In this cockamamie  business

[Verse 2]
        Em                           B7                Em
Got my face on Ed Sullivan, broke my heart on the Soul Train
     Am                         D                   B7     
Introduced to Bad Company, lost cells down at Brain Drain
      Em                           Am         
And before I could mend, lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
        C7         B7  Em
In this cockamamie business

[Verse 3]
       Em                                B7               Em
Now we like to air condition, though the air has no ozone ring 
              Am                             D                      B7  
Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King
       Em                                  Am
Eating cows with such persistence, doesn't offer much resistance
        C7         B7  Em
To this cockamamie business

       Em                  B7                               Em
There are too many things, stressing out the nervous system
Am                      D                         B7  
Girls you used to know, fellas that may have kissed'em
         Em                               Am
Some got rabies, some got fleas, some got incurable diseases
          C7         B7  Em

[Verse 5]
     Em              B7                      Em
Everybody's after as many points as they can get
   Am                                D                           B7
As long as it's not them that has to pay no one really minds the debt
       Em                              Am
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
           C7         B7  Em
With their cockamamie business

[Verse 6]
         Em               B7                      Em
Well you do what you can, can't do much more than that
                                    (No you can't do what he just said)
     Am                           D                        B7 
Some days you're pretty sharp, on other days you feel half dead
                                    (While you make your daily bread)
       Em                         Am
Didn't want to be a star, wanted just to play guitar
        C7         B7  Em
