  Intro:

  Am F Dm G					 Am	   F   G		 G

  	          Sha la la la la la la		uh huh...

  

  

  Am 			    F 	   Dm 		G

  I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl

      Am 			      F 		    G

  Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer

  Am 			    F 	    Dm 			    G

  She dances while his father plays guitar.  She's suddenly beautiful

     Am 		    F 	   G

  We all want something beautiful, I wish I was beautiful

  

  

    Am 			   F

  So come dance this silence down through the morning

  Dm 		    G 	    Am 	  F 	    G			*

  	Sha la la la la la la la  yeah		uh huh...

  Am 	  F 	    Dm 			 G

  Cut up, Maria!  Show me some of them Spanish dances

  Am 	    F 	    G

  Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

  Am 	     F    Dm 		     G

  Believe in me.  Help me believe in anything

   Am 		  F 		    G

  'Cause I want to be someone who believes

  

  

  C    F 	     G

  Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

  C 			     F

  Stare at the beautiful women

  G

  "She's looking at you.  Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."

  

  C 		   F 			G

  Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo

       C 	   F 		  G

  When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

  

  

  Am 		    F 	  Dm 			G

  I will paint my picture.  Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

  Am 			   F 			  G

  All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful

       Am 			 F 	   Dm 	  G 		*

  (you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday

  Am 		F 		  G

  If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

  

  

  C   F 	     G

  Mr. Jones and me look into the future

  C 			      F

  Stare at the beautiful women

  G

  "She's looking at you.  Uh, I don't think so.  She's looking at me."

  C 		     F 	  G

  Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar

       C 	   F 		 G 			   Am

  When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

  

  

       Am

  I will never be lonely

    G

  I will never be lonely

  

  

  Am 			    F

  I want to be a lion.  Everybody wants to pass as cats

  Am 						  G

  We All want to be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that.

  Am 			  	 F

  Believe in me because I don't believe in anything

      Am 					 G

  And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.

  

  

  C   F 	     G

  Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

    C 				 F

  Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

   G

  "She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."

  C 		     F

  I want to be Bob Dylan

     G

  Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

  

       C 	   F 		  G

  When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.

  

  

  C    F 	     G

  Mr. Jones and me staring at the video

   C 		     F 		     G

  When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.

  C 			F 			G

  We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.

     C 		   F 			 	G

  But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.

  C   F 		G
