(intro 4x) Bb5  Eb5  Bb5  Eb5 F5

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

(chorus)
Bb5      Eb5    Bb5 Eb5   F5  Bb5     Eb5   Bb5  Eb5  F5
Cos it's no fun being an illegal alien     (2x 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)  Ab(2 bars)
           An illegal alien, OK
Bridge (background chords)  whole phrase (2x)
G5 (no 3rd)  2 bars   G5 (no 3) C5  2 bars  G5 (no 3)  Eb5 1 bar
G5 (no 3) D5  G(no 3) F5  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

( B5  E5  D5  A5 )  (2x)
