Intro
Bm

Verse
Bm
I woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
Must've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
How come nobody wants to give me a break?

Chorus
Em                                     Bm
 I got the blues right there, mean and low
       F#
I'm as low as the heels of my alligator shoes
           G                 F# F# F#
You should know how it feels 
                                Bm
to have these millionaire blues
Em                    G    F# F# F# F# F# 
    Millionaire blues

Verse
Bm
Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
Bm Mute
   Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but

Chorus
          Em                          Bm
I had the blues right there, mean and mean and mean and low
   F#
As low as the heels on my alligator shoes
           G                 F# F# F#                     Bm
You should know how it feels    to have these millionaire blues
Em              G     F# F# F# F# F# 
    Millionaire blues

Verse
Bm
Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
Bm Mute
   Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!

Chorus
        Em
I said, I said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
             Bm
And he says, 'No', no! Can you believe it?

Outro
Bm
Bad, bad!
That's bad!
Yeah. So hard.
It's hard sometimes for a boy.

Bm
Ah, I like that!
That's good.
Get down!
You're making a very big mistake, man

Bm
Oh yeah
You'll never work in this town again
All right
