  When I was a young boy,

  My mama said to me
A7                     Em
  Your daddy's leavin' home today,
A7             Em
  I think he's gone to stay.
D              A
  We packed up all our bags

  And drove out to Winnipeg.

  When we got to Winnipeg

  I checked in to school.
A7                   Em
  I wore white bucks on my feet,
A7                   Em
  When I learned the golden rule.
D                  A
  The punches came fast and hard
D                  A
  Lying on my back in the school yard.

  Well pretty soon I met a friend,
D              A
  He played guitar.
A7                      Em
  We used to sit on the steps at school
A7             Em
  And dream of being stars.
D              A
  We started a band,
D               A
  We played all night.

          Oh no

  The businessmen crowded around
D                   A
  They came to hear the golden sound
A7                 Em
  There we were on the Sunset Strip,
A7                  Em
  Playing our songs for the highest bid.
D               A
  We played all night
D               A
  The price was right.

D                     A
  I know you've heard that story told.
A7                      Em
  And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise
A7                        Em
  A millionaire through a business man's eyes.
D    A
  Oh friend of mine
D            A
  Don't be denied
