Intro: D A
E E D A
The world owes me a living
E E D A
I waited on this dole queue too long
E
I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes -
D A E
that's a quarter of an hour too long
A E A E
oh oh ho, oh oh ho
E E D A
I'll take all they can give me
E E D A
And then I'm gonna ask for more
E
Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
D A E
and I want the key to the vault
Chorus: A F#m N.C. D
E A D E
I'm gonna take your money! Count your loss when I'm gone.
A F#m N.C. D E
N.C. D A
I'm alright Jack! Lookin' after number one
E E D A
If I want something I get it
E E D A
Don't matter what I have to do
E
I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
D A E
never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool
A E A E
oh oh ho, oh oh ho
E D A
I don't owe no-one nothing
E D A
If it's me, they must come to
E E E E
Stop, look, think, baby
D A E
I always get what I want and I want to get you
(Repeat chorus)
E A E A
Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
E A D A
Don't wanna talk like you, at all
One Hit Chords: E/ E/ E/ A
Solo Chords: E/ A/ E/ A/ E/ A/
A (like don't wanna be ... bit)
E D A
Don't give me love thy neighbour
E D A
Don't give me charity
E
Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above,
D A E
you only get in my way with your stupid ideas
E D A
I am an island
E D A
Entire of myself
E
And when I get old, older than today
D A E
I'll never need anybody's help in any way.
(Repeat chorus)
E A E A
Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
E A D A
Don't wanna talk like you, at all
E E E A
I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like - Me!
