AbmDon't try so hard to be different AbmThe cracks are beginning to show Gb6You drift like a cloud through the festival crowd EbIn a frock coat from Saville Row AbmYou've just been an all-night party AbmWhere I have to admit it takes pluck Gb6To go out on the floor and proclaim "What a bore" EbIn a T-shirt that reads "Disco Sucks" AbmYes, here he comes, the not-so-young AbmPretender to the Throne Gb6He's singing "Rag, Momma, Rag" EbWon't you give that poor dog a bone' AbmAnd he's wondering why we can't connect AbmWhen he's sworn to us that he's totally wrecked Gb6On the rustic charm that he affects EbOn a public schoolboy whim AbmWith a raggle taggle plastic gypsy AbmRobert Zimmerframe Gb6With a synthesized accordian EbA-scramblin' up my brain AbmWith a fiddle-dee-dee a fiddle on high AbmExcuse me folks while I kiss the sky Gb6Or at any rate give it one more try Eb before I Ebdie Eb before I
