Chords with lyrics

Michael wrote this one in Eb MajorEb but I
transposed it down to A augmentedA so it´s easier to sing.

   [Am79/D]        [D MajorD]    4 times

[F#m7F#m7] F#F# Earth [B7B7] quakes and my [F#m7F#m7] Bug [B7B7] breaks
[E minor 7Em7] You need a light to [A7A7] see through the [D MajorD] smog [D MajorD]
[F#m7F#m7] It´s like D-[B7B7]-day out on the [F#m7F#m7] free [B7B7] way
[E minor 7Em7] I´d like to crawl back [A7A7] under my [D MajorD] log [D MajorD]

All these [B7B7] Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the Sunset Strip
just like [E7E7] Pharaos down the Nile.
[A7A7] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [D MajorD] / [Am79/D] [D MajorD]

[F#m7F#m7] Dog [B7B7] bites [F#m7F#m7] lost [B7B7] kites
[E minor 7Em7] he says Thanks but [A7A7] he never says [D MajorD] Please [D MajorD]
[F#m7F#m7] We both [B7B7] shave and we [F#m7F#m7] jump [B7B7] waves
[E minor 7Em7] He never has much skin [A7A7] on his [D MajorD] knees [D MajorD]

You know [B7B7] he´s got the habit now for Peter Rabbit now,
[E7E7] and Disney crocodiles.
[A7A7] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [D MajorD] / [Am79/D] [D MajorD]

Solo one verse until...

All these [B7B7] movie stars and all these Jane and Tarzan just to,
[E7E7] run the three minute mile.
