  Verse 1:
B5B5
I woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
B5B5
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
B5B5
Must've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
B5B5
How come nobody wants to give me a break?
E9E9                  Bm7Bm7
I got the blues right there, mean and low
    F#7F#7
I'm as low as the heels of my alligator shoes
      G9G9        F#7F#7            Bm7Bm7  E7E7
You should know how it feels to have these millionaire blues
      G9G9  F#7F#7
Millionaire blues

  Verse 2:
B5B5
Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
B5B5
I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
B5B5                         N.C.
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
B5B5
Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but
     E9E9             Bm7Bm7
I had the blues right there, mean and mean and mean and low
  F#7F#7
As low as the heels on my alligator shoes
      G9G9        F#7F#7            Bm7Bm7  E7E7
You should know how it feels to have these millionaire blues
      G9G9  F#7F#7
Millionaire blues

Get down!

  Verse 3:
B5B5
Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
B5B5
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
B5B5                        N.C.
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
B5B5
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!
    E9E9
I said, I said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
       Bm7Bm7
And he says, 'No', no! Can you believe it?
F#7F#7
I'm as low as the heels of these alligator shoes

Millionaire blues, to have these millionaire blues,
      G9G9  F#7F#7
Millionaire blues

It's hard sometimes for a boy

Ah, I like that
B minorBm
That's good
B5B5
Get down!
B minorBm
You're making a very big mistake, man
B5B5
Oh yeah
B minorBm
You'll never work in this town again
B5B5
All right
