Alexander chords by I Said Yes

Intro: C E F G (2x)

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

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

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

Interlude
F G

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

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

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

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

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