[Verse 1]
             D
I’ve got a sheet for my bed
       D
and a pillow for my head; 
            D
I’ve got a pencil full of lead; 
          D
and some water for my throat 
          G
I’ve got buttons for my coat; and sails on my boat
 D
So much more than I needed before 
        A                       G
I got money in the meter and a two bar heater
 D
Now it’s getting hotter; 
         D
Oh it’s only getting sweeter 
       D
I got legs on my chair
       D
and a head full of hair 
 D
Pot and a pan 
           D
And some shoes on my feet; 
          G
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth 
   D
A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock; 
       A                      G
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
     D
And nothing’s gonna bring me down 
[Solo]
D  G  D  A  G  D
[Verse 2]
         D
I got a nice guitar
     D
and tyres on my car 
       D
I got most of the means;
       D
and scripts for the scenes 
     G
I’m out and about, so I’m in with a shout 
         D
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
 A                      G
Food in my belly and a license for my telly 
     D
and nothing's going to bring me down 
[Solo]
D  G  D  A  G  D
Nothing’s gonna bring me down
[Chorus]
     D
But best of all (best of all) 
             D
I’ve got my baby 
     G
But best of all (best of all) 
             D
I’ve got my baby
       A                    G
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine 
     D
And nothing’s going to bring me down 
[Solo]
D  G  D  A  G  D
[Chorus]
     D
But best of all (best of all) 
             D
I’ve got my baby 
     G
But best of all (best of all) 
             D
I’ve got my baby
       A                    G
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine 
     D
And nothing’s going to bring me down 
       A                    G
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine 
     D
And nothing’s going to bring me down 
       A                    G
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine 
     D
And nothing’s going to bring me down
