[Intro]
Bm
[Verse]
BmI woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
Must've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
How come nobody wants to give me a break?
[Chorus]
Em I got the blues right there, mean and Bmlow
I'm as F#low as the heels of my alligator shoes
You should Gknow how it feels F# F# F#
to have these millionaire blues Bm
Em Millionaire blues G F# F# F# F# F#
[Verse]
BmWell, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
Bm [Mute]
Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but
[Chorus]
I had the Emblues right there, mean and Bmmean and mean and low
As F#low as the heels on my alligator shoes
You should Gknow how it feels F# F#to F#have these millionaire Bmblues
Em Millionaire Gblues F# F# F# F# F#
Get down!

BmWell, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
Bm [Mute]
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!
[Chorus]
I said, EmI said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
And he says, Bm'No', no! Can you believe it?

BmBad, bad!
That's bad!
Yeah. So hard.
It's hard sometimes for a boy.
BmAh, I like that!
That's good.
Get down!
You're making a very big mistake, man
BmOh yeah
You'll never work in this town again
All right
