[Verse]
BmI woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
BmThen the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
BmMust've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
BmHow come nobody wants to give me a break?
[Chorus]
EmI got the blues right there, mean and Bmlow
I'm as F#low as the heels of my alligator shoes
You should Gknow how it feels F#  F#  F#  
to have these millionaire bluesBm  
EmMillionaire bluesG  F#  F#  F#  F#  F#  
[Verse]
BmWell, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
BmI called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
BmOh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I couldBm  
N.C.
Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but
