Intro(which is like the chorus) 
 
Bb  Eb  |  Bb  Eb F |    x4 
 

Lyric 
G          D           Bb          F 
Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good 
                      C           Cm          Bb 
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes 
G           D            Bb          F 
The sun was shining so I head for the park 
                     C        Cm           Bb 
With a bottle of tequila and a new pack of cigarrettes 
 
I got a cousin, and sge got a friend 

Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help 

At his apartment, I knock on the door 

He wouldn't come out until he got paid 
 
Pre-chorus 
    Bb    Eb       Bb    Eb   Bb    Eb 
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do 
    Bb    Eb   Bb  Eb                   Eb            Bb      Eb 
If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through 
Bb      Eb    Bb Eb   F  Bb     Eb   Bb  Eb  F 
Cos it's no fun being an illegal alien     (X2 or however many you feel like)  

Down at the office had to fill out the forms 

A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose 

Up to the counter to see what they think, they said, 

"It doesn't count, man, it aint written in ink" 
 
I don't trust anybody, least not around here 

(Chorus) 
 
Lead in to bridge (the keyboard solo) 
Bb (2 bars)  Ab (2 bars) 
           An illegal alien, OK 

Bridge (background chords)  whole phrase x2 
G (no 3rd)  2 bars   G/C (no 3)  2 bars  G/Eb (no 3) 1 bar 

G/D (no 3)  G/F (no 3)  half bar each 
 
D             G 
Consideration for your fellow man 
          C             D7sus4 
Would not hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan 

Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand 
 
there's a bit where the chords are Bm  |  Em   | D   | A   |   x2 
 
then back to pre-chorus and chorus. Lyrics I left out can be found 
at uwp among other places.
