Michael wrote this one in Eb but I
transposed it down to A so it´s easier to sing.

[Am79/D] [D] 4 times
[F#m7] F# Earth [B7] quakes and my [F#m7] Bug [B7] breaks
[Em7] You need a light to [A7] see through the [D] smog [D]
[F#m7] It´s like D-[B7]-day out on the [F#m7] free [B7] way
[Em7] I´d like to crawl back [A7] under my [D] log [D]
All these [B7] Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the Sunset Strip
just like [E7] Pharaos down the Nile.
[A7] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [D] / [Am79/D] [D]
[F#m7] Dog [B7] bites [F#m7] lost [B7] kites
[Em7] he says Thanks but [A7] he never says [D] Please [D]
[F#m7] We both [B7] shave and we [F#m7] jump [B7] waves
[Em7] He never has much skin [A7] on his [D] knees [D]
You know [B7] he´s got the habit now for Peter Rabbit now,
[E7] and Disney crocodiles.
[A7] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [D] / [Am79/D] [D]
Solo one verse until...
All these [B7] movie stars and all these Jane and Tarzan just to,
[E7] run the three minute mile.
[A7] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [D] / [Am79/D] [D]
