F5 Bb5 My big day, it was the biggest day of my life. G5 F5 It was the summit of my long career, F5 Bb5 But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer, G5 Bb5 And my manager said that I should not appear. F5 Bb5 I walked out onto the stage and started to speak. G5 F5 The first night I've missed for a couple of years, G5 Bb5 I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer, F5 Bb5 And just when I wanted no one to be there, F5 Bb5 Bb5 G5 All of my friends were there.

G5 F5 I wore a mustache and I parted my hair, F5 Bb5 And gave the impression that I did not care, G5 Bb5 But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair. F5 Bb5 Came the day, help with a few last glasses of gin, G5 F5 I nervously mounted the stage once again, F5 Bb5 Got through my performance and no one complained, G5 F5 Thank God I can go back to normal again.
