Intro(which is like the chorus) 
 
Bb5  Eb5  |  Bb5  Eb5 F5 |    x4 
 

Lyric 
G5          D5           Bb5          F5 
Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good 
                      C5           C5          Bb5 
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes 
G5           D5            Bb5          F5 
The sun was shining so I head for the park 
                     C5        C5           Bb5 
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 
    Bb5    Eb5       Bb5    Eb5   Bb5    Eb5 
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do 
    Bb5    Eb5   Bb5  Eb5                   Eb5            Bb5      Eb5 
If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through 
Bb5      Eb5    Bb5 Eb5   F5  Bb5     Eb5   Bb5  Eb5  F5 
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) 
Bb5 (2 bars)  Ab5 (2 bars) 
           An illegal alien, OK 

Bridge (background chords)  whole phrase x2 
G5 (no 3rd)  2 bars   G5 (no 3)  2 bars  G5 (no 3) 1 bar 

G5 (no 3)  G5 (no 3)  half bar each 
 
D5             G5 
Consideration for your fellow man 
          C5             D5 
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 B5  |  E5   | D5   | A5   |   x2 
 
then back to pre-chorus and chorus. Lyrics I left out can be found 
at uwp among other places.
