[Verse]
B E E7 A7 E7
I've got two islands in the Baha-mas.
A7 E7 A7 E7
Got some land in the south of France.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
I'm gonna get me a house out on Malibu Beach,
G5
Just as soon as I get the chance.
E7 A7 E7
Well, I ain't got a divers license,
A7 E7 A7 E7
I've got a Rolls and five limou-sines.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
I've got ev'ry little thing that money can buy.
G5 B5
Well, I guess that I'm a man of means.
[Chorus]
B5 A5 G5
Well, I got a lot of things, baby, in this world,
F5
But I can't get my hands on you.

[Verse 2]
B E E7 A7 E7
Once I loaned out a whole lot of money,
A7 E7 A7 E7
To a man who I called my friend.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
And he skipped town without payin' me back.
G5 B5
Well, he'll never pull that trick again.
E7 A7 E7
You know it ain't always been easy.
A7 E7 A7 E7
I've worked hard to get to this spot.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
And all that it took was determination,
G5 B5
To get all the things that I've got.
[Chorus]
B5 A5 G5
Well, I got a lot of things, baby, in this world,
F5
But I can't get my hands on you.

[Verse 3]
D5 B5 E7 A7 E7
Well, I guess if I have to admit it,
A7 E7 A7 E7
In my life I've done okay.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
When-ever they told me I couldn't get somethin',
G5 B5
I went out and found me away.
E7 A7 E7
But with you it's a diff'rent sto-ry, babe.
A7 E7 A7 E7
Ya just won't give me a break.
E7 A7 E7 A7
How am I gonna face all of my friends?
G5 B5
My whole reputation's at stake.
[Chorus]
G5
See, I got a lot of things, baby, in this world,
F5 E5 G5 A5 B5
But I can't get my hands on you.
D5 B5 E5 G5 A5
No, I can't do it , baby.
B5 G5 B5 E5 G5 A5 B5
Well, no, no.
D5 B5 E5 G5 A5 B5 D5 B5
Can't get my hands on you, darlin'.
