Bigger than the Beatles
Jeb Stuart Anderson-Steve Dukes
As performed by Joe Diffie on "Life's so Funny"
*****************************************
Intro:
||:G G - D|C C - D:||
G C G D
He plays guitar at a hotel bar
G C G D
For out-of-towners and business men
G C G D
He struts and sings to his drum machine
G C D G
But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn
D C G
But she thinks that he looks like Elvis
C G D G D
When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair
C G
And sometimes she forgets an order
C G D
'Cause she's so struck by him she just stops and stares
Chorus:
G D C G
They gotta love bigger than the Beatles
D C G D
Wild and Free like a Rolling Stone
G D C D
They gotta a love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
G D C D
Ain't love such a sweet, sweet song
G D
Na, na, na, na, na
C G
Na, na, na, na, na
G C D G
Na, na, na, yeah, yeah, yeah
She pours 'em drinks, loads up the sink
And dreams of bein' a movie star
Her mama said, she'd knock 'em dead
But Hollywood hasn't called so far
But he thinks she's as pretty as a picture
When she wipes down tables in her apron strings
And sometimes he forgets a chorus
'Cause she's shinin' like a beauty on the silver screen
Chorus
Em C
No you won't find their names on the walk of fame
G D
But they ain't missin' much
Em C
'Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town
G D
All you need is love
Chorus
