intro: play twice
C5      Cadd4  C5     |   G5      G5  G5  |   A5     A5  A5    |   F5      |  
 
C5            G5 
Is it too much to ask? 
         A5                        F5 
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back 
C5          G5 
   Food to fill me up 
    A5              F5 
And warm clothes and all that stuff 
  

C5                   E5 
   Shouldn't I have this, 
                 A5 
Shouldn't I have this? 
                 F5 
Shouldn't I have all of this, and 
  

C5             F5 
   Passionate kisses 
C5             F5 
   Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh 
C5             F5 
   Passionate kisses from 
  

C5  C5  C5   |   G5  G5  G5   |   A5  A5  A5   |   F5   |  
you 
  
Is it too much to demand 
I want a full house and a rock and roll band 
Pens that won't run out of ink 
And cool quiet and time to think 
 
(chorus) 
 
(Guitar solo; mostly the same chords as the verse, but it goes to G instead 
of F the second time, then back to C.) 
 
Do I want too much? 
Am I going overboard to want that touch? 
I shouted out to the night 
Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right 
 
(chorus) 
 
(Repeat chorus, then fade on intro chords) 
 
 
Someone met John Jenning's (MCC's guitarist) after a concert and asked 
him how he plays this song in concert; he wrote it down in standard musical 
notation, and I converted it to tablature.  (But there's no guarantee that 
this is where John Jennings puts his fingers.)  The ">" marks are accents.
