[Verse]
A                 G         E          G
I've just come in at number twenty five
A         G         E               G
I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive
A             G                  E             G
And everybody says it's going to get to the top
A
Life is so easy when your record's hot.
E (Riff)
 
[Verse]
A              G     E            G
Go tell my mamma and my sister too
A           G            E              G
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
A            G        E                G
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god
A
It might turn into a steady job.
E  (Riff)
 
[Chorus]
D                         C             Gsus4        Csus2
And my agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so."
 
[Verse]
A               G      E                G
Now my record's number eleven on the BBC
A          G            E     G
But number seven on the N.M.E.
A              G     E                   E
Now the Melody Maker want to interview me
E  (Riff)                                   D
And ask about my politics and theories on pollution
 
[Bridge]

A     G      E      G
 
[Verse]
A          G          E           G
Now my record's up to number three
A                G            E                 G
And a woman recognized me and started to scream
A              G      E           G
This all seems like a crazy dream
E  (Riff)                                      D
I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen
 
[Chorus]
D                C                           Gsus4       Csus2
And now I've got friends that I never knew I had before.
 
[Solo]
A  G  E  G  A  G  E  G  A  G  E  G  E   E
 
[Verse]
A                G           E                     G
It's strange how people want you when you record's high
A                    G         E                G
'Cause when it drops down they just pass you by
A            G                E         G
Now my agent called me on the telephone
E
"Son your record's just got to Number One."
 
[Outro] Organ
A  A/G#  F#m  E  D  D/F#  A   D
 
D                   Dm
And do you know what this means?
Dm
This means you can earn some real money!
[End}
