F#F# C#C#
Verse 1:
F#F#
The men in this town
D MajorD
Live and die and are forgotten
C#C#
And it doesn't seem to scare 'em
D MajorD
I can't wait to get away
F# minorF#m
Away from the drought
D MajorD
And the homeless and the hungry
G#G# C#C#
Where they talk about foreclosures
F# minorF#m
Every hot and dusty day
B minorBm C#C# F# minorF#m
I don't intend to waste my life 'round here
B minorBm C#C# F# minorF#m
I've got it all mapped out
B minorBm C#C# F# minorF#m
If I can pull just three jobs a year
D MajorD
I'll be rich, I'll have wealth and fame
C#C#
Everyone'll know my name
(Spoken)
F#7F#7
"Pull three jobs"? What does that mean?
D MajorD C#C#
What do you think it means?

F# minorF#m D MajorD
Just like Billy the Kid, and Mr. Capone

Every kid will idolize Clyde Barrow

Is that this world will remember me

Don't you think it's time
D MajorD
That you lost that egg-stained apron
G# minorG#m C#C#
And wore somethin' made of satin
F# minorF#m D MajorD
From a fine Manhattan store
F# minorF#m
Yes, I can see you
D MajorD
In a car with your own driver
B minorBm
You are headed to your penthouse
C#C# F# minorF#m
That will overlook the shore
B minorBm C#C# F# minorF#m
Your face should be up on the silver screen
B minorBm C#C# F# minorF#m
You've got that 'It Girl' look
B minorBm G# minorG#m C#C# F# minorF#m
I can't believe that you see that in me
D MajorD D7D7
I always I knew I'd be a star

How intelligent you are

F# minorF#m
We are wasted 'round here
D MajorD
We're too good for this place

You and this world will remember me
