I found it difficult to position the chord breaks over the words at the
right spots, so the basic pattern for the verses is:

B A A A

The descending chord pattern at the end of some verses is (at my best guess)
barred E Ebm C#m B C#m B A

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says, "you know I've been thinkin'"
Other one says, "that won't get you too far"

He says, "this is your life and welcome to it
It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on TV says Just do it
Hell if I know what that means"

EThe (022100@1)secret of life is a good cup of coffee

C#mThe (x13321@4)secret of life is keep your eye on the ball

AThe (x02220@1)secret of life is a beautiful woman

BAnd (x2444x@1)Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall

You and me, we're just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down-and-outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What do they have to be unhappy about

So they turn to the bartender
"Sam, what do you think
What's the key that unlocks that door"
Sam don't say nothin', just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more

E'Cause (022100@1)the secret of life is in Sam's martinis

C#mThe (x13321@4)secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
AThe (x02220@1)secret of life is in Monday night football

BRolling (x2444x@1)Stones records and mom's apple pie

E C#m A B (lead here)


Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says, "boys you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back"

EThe (022100@1)secret of life is getting up early

C#mThe (x13321@4)secret of life is staying up late

AThe (x02220@1)secret of life is try not to hurry

BBut (x2444x@1)don't wait....don't wait

EThe (022100@1)secret of life is a good cup of coffee

C#mThe (x13321@4)secret of life is keep your eye on the ball

AThe (x02220@1)secret of life is to find the right woman

B (x2444x@1)			EThe (022100@1)secret of life is nothin' at all

			C#m(Oh (x13321@4)it's nothin' at all)

AThe (x02220@1)secret of life
