Chords with lyrics

Intro: C majorC E MajorE FF G+G (2x)

verse 1
     C majorC          E MajorE
Getting high at a quarter to nine
     FF              G+G
And you throwing all your favourite lines
     C majorC               E MajorE
And that red-head said he's living with you
     FF          G+G
And he copies everything you do...

     C majorC           E MajorE
And you throw your California smile
     FF             G+G
And you warn me this could take a while
     C majorC             E MajorE
So while you think of something to do
   FF              G+G
I'm thinking I could stick with you

       C majorC            E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander
    FF          G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
        C majorC          E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
    FF          G+G
You've made up a name for yourself

Interlude
FF G+G

verse 2
   C majorC            E MajorE
In a town at the edge of the Nile
    FF          G+G
I can see that California smile
      C majorC             E MajorE
There's a boat with your name on the side
     FF            G+G
And it waits for the turn of the tide

   C majorC           E MajorE
In between your Casino and mine
    FF              G+G
I can see that there's a delicate line
       C majorC        E MajorE
And I can't tell our voices apart
       FF          G+G
And I can't tell your life from art

      C majorC         E MajorE
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander
    FF          G+G
You've made up a name for yourself
       C majorC          E MajorE
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
     FF             G+G
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

      C majorC
Cause you threw me California
   E MajorE
The Great California
 FF            G+G
Ring me when you've had enough of California
      C majorC
You're a ghost Alexander
   E MajorE
The Great Alexander
    FF          G+G
You've made up a name for yourself, Alexander

   C majorC
The first Alexander
   E MajorE           FF                   G+G
The Great, Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate, Alexander
   C majorC
You threw me California
     E MajorE          FF               G+G
I can't beat Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate
