This is the general sound of the acoustic guitar on the track.
G A# F G
I was sitting there in a comfortable chair and that was all that I needed,
G A# F G
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share and that was all that I needed,
F
Then I felt the ease,
But then I’m not too hard to please,
G
I guess you couldn’t call me greedy,
G A# F G
Then I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there in a place so seedy,
G A# F G
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair and that was all that I needed,
F
Then I said to my friend,
‘Good God, we’re lucky men,
G
Just to even see her’

Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
G A# F G
I could not resist, I just had to get close to her and that was all that I needed,
G A# F G
I walked and loomed around her table for a while and that was all that I needed,
F
Then I said, ‘I hate to bug you ma’am,
But can I have your autograph?’
G
And that was all that I needed
G A# F G
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper and that was all that I needed,
G A# F G
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart was in my mouth and that was all that I needed,
F
Then she handed it to me,
And I think she could see,
G
That that was all that I needed,
G A# F G
I started to walk away but then I remembered Hey, I forgot to get a picture,
G A# F G
So I asked her one more time, ‘Could I have another favour?’ That was I all that I needed.
F
She was kind and posed with me,
Then I knew my friends would see,
G
My celebrity meeting,

Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,

And she said to me, ‘I need to go to sleep’ and it seemed so mean,
G A# F G
It’s almost as if she did not appreciate how cool I was being,
F
She said, ‘Good night’ and walked away,
And I didn’t know what to say.
G
I just couldn’t believe it.
G A# F G
Well, it’s just not fair, I want to get a piece of hair and that was all that I needed
G A# F G
Well maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn’t wash it for a week. That was all that I needed
F
Well she didn’t even care,
That even there,
G
What a horrible feeling.
