[Intro]
Gm F C
I'm going to have to introduce myself, I got no record company produce myself.
Gm F
I've been the drummer and I've played the bass now I'm up the front with my
C
pretty little face.
Gm F
Kept it together through the leaner years, I sang "Stormy Weather" through the
C
meaner years.
[Chorus]
Gm F C
I've been the sucker of the Century, now I'm the sucker I was meant to be.
Gm F C
Born at the turn of the Century, fought in the trenches of Gallipoli.
Gm F C
I stood tall while Wall Street crashed though I never ever had a lot of cash.
Gm F C
Fought on the beaches of the Second War I landed with MacArthur at Corregidor.
Gm F C
My arse got burnt when Saigon fell, reeducation was another kind of hell.
D Eb
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Gm F
Century Girl, I'm checking out, is there much left for us to talk about?
Bb Fb Gm F C
I'll call back in from planet Earth, the self-same child I was upon my birth.
[Verse 3]
Gm F C
I've been a sailor of the Seven Seas, I was a hippie in the Seventies.
Gm F C
I shot the sheriff and I fought the law, I've been the hooker to the whore.
Gm F
I've been Catholic and I've been Zen, I've been the Buddha since Christ knows
C
when.
[Chorus]
Gm F C
I've been to Babylon, I've been to Rome, I've been travelling but now I'm home.
Bb Eb Gm F
Century Girl, I'm checking out, is there much left for us to talk about?
Bb Fb Gm F C
I'll call back in from planet Earth, the self-same child I was upon my birth.
Gm F
I've seen a bucketload of shit go down, I've been the President I've been the
C
clown.
[Bridge]
Gm F C
I"ve seen a bucket of futility, don't need to demonstrate virility.
Gm F C
Still I ain't bitter, and I ain't green, and I'm feeling fitter than I've ever been.
Gm F C
I've been the sucker of the century, now I'm the sucker I was meant to be.
[Outro]
