Always was an early bird

With something on the side

Better buy this, better buy that

Out here everyday it's hot

And I'm talking to my men

Working on my masterplan

  B minorBm
Now here's the hot-tub, here's the gym

Here's the pool that I swam in
B minorBm
Up the stairs my footprints led

To the bedroom, to my bed


B minorBm
Up the stairs my footprints led

To where I lay my bosom head
 B minorBm
Sleep the long sleep of the dead

I'm an early bird, that's what I said
