 G    Am   G    Am   C    Bm   C   Bm(x2)
E7 Am
(Drums) Oi,  Oi,  Oi, Oi, Oi Oi oi!
(distortion)  E5- "Pick it up!"
[Verse 1]
(clean upstrokes - Play barre chords on 5th & 7th frets)
AKeep both my eyes transfixed on the prize
A Dhigh-rise under blue skies my piece of the pie
There's a Ahole in my heart that I know how to fill
As I lEight my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill
It's Aall about cash flow the California dream
To Dmake the grade you gotta make the green
My Afriend I'm the champion I've no time for losers
ENever ask for nothing cuz' beggars can't be choosers
[Interlude] 
(distortion)
  A5   C5   G5(4x)
[Verse 2]
(clean upstrokes)
ALookin' out for number one's a full time occupation
I Dgive to me myself and I my own salvation
Some Apeople try to tell me God can save me from my sin
But EGod can take a number and I'll pencil Him in
ABusy oh so busy I got no time to search
My DSunday's are all booked I got no time for church
AThat's for those poor souls dry as a stone
EGod bless this child cuz' this child's got his own
[Chorus]
AOh, lGet my pride fall Cdown, I'm a Dlittle man? (2x)
[Verse 3]
AHe who gets the most toys and dies is the winner
I'm Dlivin' the high life with lobster tail dinners
My ALexus, my yacht, my gold chains and rings
EThese are a few of my favorite things
But Amost of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart
DHouse decorated with million dollar works of art
ARoll with the bigwigs they think I am the man
But Ethen I stop and look and think about how big I really am
[Chorus]
AOh, lGet my pride fall dCown, I'm a lDittle man? (4x)

Keep both my eyes transfixed on the prize

A high-rise under blue skies my piece of the pie

There's a hole in my heart that I know how to fill

As I light my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill

It's all about cash flow the California dream

To make the grade you gotta make the green

My friend I'm the champion I've no time for losers

Never ask for nothing cuz' beggars can't be choosers
