  A              E                F#                  B
A man was fryin' burgers, gee, it seemed like lots of fun.
    E                 E7          A                      B

     A           E                F#             B
they found a few musicians and persuaded them to join.

'We need a fancy title,' and the Raiders they became.

They soon packed up for Hollywood to reap their fortunes there..
A                     E                   F#                B
streets aren't really paved with gold and you can't live on air.
    E               E7                        A
And then Dick Clark approached them, said, "I know a thing or
B
tw..oo..oo.
     A            E           B                 E
I'll put you on a TV show and make big stars of you.'

           A                E              F#

all insane.
    E           E7                A               B
And everybody's pushin', sayin', 'Give it all you can!'
A                        E            B                 E
