| D | % | % | % |    x 10
[Chorus]
AOh Dlord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every A7way,
I A7can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each Dday.
To Dknow me is to love me,
I mD7ust be a hell of a maGn,
Oh lord it's hard to be Dhumble,
But I'm Adoing the best that I Dcan.
[Verse 1]
I Dused to have a girlfriend,
But I guess she just couldn't comA7pete,
With aA7ll of these love starved women,
Who keep clamoring at my Dfeet.
Well I Dprob'ly could find me another,
But I D7guess they're all in awe of Gme,
Who cares, I never get Dlonesome.
'Cause I A7treasure my own compaDny.
[Chorus] 
AOh Dlord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every A7way,
I A7can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each Dday.
To Dknow me is to love me,
I muD7st be a hell of a maGn,
Oh lord it's hard to be Dhumble,
We're A7doing the best that we Dcan.
[Verse 2]
I Dguess you could say I'm a loner,
A cowboy outlaw tough and A7proud,
I could A7have lots of friends if I wanted,
But then I wouldn't stand out from the Dcrowd.
Some Dfolks say that I'm egotistical,
Hell, I doD7n't even know what that Gmeans,
I guess it has something to Ddo with the way 
That I A7fill out my skin tight blue Djeans.
[Chorus]
AOh Dlord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every A7way,
I A7can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each Dday.
To Dknow me is to love me,
I D7must be a hell of a Gman,
Oh lord it's hard to be Dhumble,
But we're A7doing the best that we Dcan. 
[Outro]
But we're A7doing the best that we Dcan.
