Intro:  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5 


D5               G5
Got no books in my house
       A5        D5 
Got no time for those
               G5
No room in my closets
         A5
Closets' full of clothes


D5               G5
Garage full of wheels, babe
           A5       D5
Boat house full of boat
               G5 
The lifestyle ideal, babe
            A5
That's what gets my vote


B5
All the Villas on the hillsides

Gotta have a view to sea
B5
Villas of the empire
G5              A5
  Way back in history


           B5
They have slaves for the galleys and the kitchens

Gardens and the vines
 B5
Slaves for the beautiful people
G5              A5
  Bring water, food and wine


   D5                G5 
A slave to tie your bib
A5                F#5
  Another one to carry it
B5            G5             A5 
  So now I'll take my crib
                              D5  D5  D5 
I dig my chariot dig my crib


      G5           D5        B5              D5      D5     D5 
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home
       D5   D5  D5 
Dig my crib
      G5           D5        E5              A5        D5   D5  D5 
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home


Solo:  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5 


D5                G5
England calls me vulgar
           A5      D5
I'd call myself refined
            G5 
Goodbye old England
               A5 
Simon's off to sunny climes


D5                   G5
Look who's doin' it now, babe
           A5        D5
Look who's doin' it now
                    G5
Look who's doin' it now, babe
           A5        D5
Look who's doin' it now


 
Solo:  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5  B5 


B5
Always was an early bird

With something on the side 
B5
Better buy this, better buy that
G5              A5
Maybe let that baby ride


B5
Out here everyday it's hot

And I'm talking to my men
B5
Working this working that
G5             A5
Working on my masterplan


   D5              G5
A slave to tie my bib
A5                F#5
  Another one to carry it
B5            G5             A5 
  So now I'll take my crib
                             D5  D5  D5 
I dig my chariot dig my crib


      G5           D5        B5              D5      D5     D5 
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home
       D5   D5  D5 
Dig my crib
      G5           D5        E5              A5            D5  D5 
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home


    B5
Now here's the hot-tub, here's the gym

Here's the pool that I swam in
B5
Up the stairs my footprints led

To the bedroom , to my bed


B5
Up the stairs my footprints led

To where I lay my bosom head
 B5
Sleep the long sleep of the dead

I'm an early bird, that's what I said
