[Intro]
C7 Ab7 Bb7
[Verse 1]
C7Now, if I was a bricklayerF7,
I wouldn't build just any-C7thing;
F7And if I was a ball player,
I wouldn't play no second C7string.
And if Ab7I were some jew'lry, baby;Bb7
Lord, I'd have to be a diamond C7ring.
[Verse 2]
C7If I were a secret, F7lord, I never would be C7told.
F7If I were a jug of wine, then all my flavor would be C7old.
I could be Ab7most anything,
Bb7But it got to be twenty-four karat solid C7gold, oh.
[Verse 3]
C7If I were a gambler, you know I'd never lose,
F7And if I were a guitar player,
Lord, I'd have to play the C7blues.
[Instrumental]
C7 F7 C7 F7 C7 Ab7 Bb7 C7
[Verse 4]
C7If I was a hacksaw, F7my blade would be razor C7sharp.
F7If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeysC7 talk.
You can find Ab7the tallest building,
Bb7Lord, I'd have me the house on C7top.
C7Oh, let's go!
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
C7I'm the penthouse pauper;
F7I got nothin' to my C7name.
F7I'm the penthouse pauper; baby,
I got nothing to my C7name.
I can be Ab7most anything,
Bb7'cause when you got nothin' it's all the C7same.
C7Oh, let's move to this song!
[Outro]
