Well now there was a movie star out in Hollywood
E MajorE               BB
He met a little girl, they got along real good
E MajorE                       A augmentedA

Now it was on TV, every word they said
E MajorE             BB
If you didn't see it man, you must have been dead
E MajorE               A augmentedA
She got on the witness stand, sighed without a care

A augmentedA little dedication, judge, to pay the rent
