[Verse 1]
D A Bm A
To tell the truth darling I’d have to lead a coup
D A Bm A
Past the platitudes, right past the dotted rules
D A Bm A
I paid attention, I paid my dues
Bm A
Now that I know a thing or two
Bm A
I say thank you

[Chorus]
Bm A D A Bm A
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ‘round with the golden gun?
D A Bm A
Would you ever light up with somebody like me? (Looked like my son, he looked like a sun)
D A D A Bm A
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came round with the golden gun? (On my back, felt like it)
D A Bm A
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me?

(On my back, felt like it)

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D A
It really wasn’t a fall
Bm A
It was nothing at all
D A
All that they came in proving
Bm A
Well they sure was zooming
Bm A Bm A
I have to cast up, a big wet net through
Bm A Bm A
Now that I ask after you, I’ve gotta pass through now

[Chorus]
D A Bm A D A
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ‘round with the golden gun?
Bm A
Would you ever light up with somebody like me? (To tell the truth)
D A Bm A D A
Would you come right over with the crown royal if I said run, run, run
(I’d have to lead a coup, past the platitudes)
Bm A
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me? (Right past the dotted rules)
D A Bm A D A
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came ‘round with the golden gun?
(I paid attention, I paid my dues, I gotta ask you)
D A Bm A
Would you ever light up with somebody like me?

(Do you say thank you?)

[Outro]
D A
Looked like my son (I say thank you)
Bm A
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
D A
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Bm A
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
D A
Looked like my son (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Bm A
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
D A
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Bm A
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
D A
On my back (I say thank you)
Bm A
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
D A
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Bm A
Felt like it (I say thank you)
