        Am
Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the BBC
                                                                               
Dm                                C               E7  G
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues at the Marquee
        Am                          Dm
Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my virginity
        Dm         E7   Am
In this Cockamamie Business

       Am
Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on the Soul Train
     Dm                           C                  E7     G
Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at Brain Drain
      Am                           Dm         
And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
        Dm         E7  Am
In this Cockamamie Business

        Am
Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring                     
Dm                           C                
Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger  
E7  G
King
       Am                                   Dm
Eating cows with such persistance - doesn't offer much resistance
        Dm         E7   Am
To this Cockamamie Business

          Am  
There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system
Dm                        C                          E7   G
Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed'em
         Am                                 Dm
Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got incurable diseases
          Dm         E7  Am

Am
Everybody's after as many points as they can get
                    Dm
As long as it's not them that has to pay
       C                E7   G
No one really minds the Debt
       Am                           Dm
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
           Dm         E7  Am
With their Cockamamie Business

          Am
Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that

(No you can't do what he just said)
     Dm                             C                  E7      G
Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead

(While you make your daily bread)
       Am                         Dm
Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
        Dm         E7  Am
In this Cockamamie Business
