Verse 1:
G minorGm     Dm7Dm7      G minorGm      Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
And if one day I should become a singer with a Spanish bum
       DmDm       G minorGm  Dm7Dm7
Who sings for women of great virtue
G minorGm     Dm7Dm7      G minorGm        Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
I'd sing to them with a guitar I'd borrowed from a coffee bar
        F7F7         Bb majorBb    D7D7
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you!
G+G          Gmaj7Gmaj7              G6G6
My name would be Antonio and all my bridges I would burn
                Gmaj7Gmaj7      G+G       Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 D7D7
And if I gave them some they'd know I'd expect something in return
A minorAm             AmMaj7Ammaj7          Am7Am7
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility
                        D7D7    BB
With some old Grandmother who might be decked out like a Christmas tree
E minorEm       B minorBm      E minorEm         Bm7Bm7       E minorEm
And though pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I could be
        Bm7Bm7      E minorEm      D7D7         G+G
Still I would sing my song to me about the time they called me Jackie

Chorus:
D7D7     G+G
If I could be for only an hour
             G#dimG#dim Am7Am7
If I could be for an hour every day
D7D7     Am7Am7     D7D7     Am7Am7
If I could be for just one little hour
       D MajorD          G+G D7D7  G+G  D7D7

Verse 2:
G minorGm    Dm7Dm7        G minorGm       Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
And if I joined the social whirl, became procurer of young girls
       DmDm       G minorGm  Dm7Dm7
Then I would have my own bordellos
G minorGm     Dm7Dm7      G minorGm        Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
My record would be number one and I'd sell records by the ton
       F7F7    Bb majorBb  D7D7
All sung by many other fel-lows
G+G               Gmaj7Gmaj7             G6G6
My name would then be Handsome Jack and I'd sell boats of opium
               Gmaj7Gmaj7       G+G        Am7Am7  D7D7 Am7Am7 D7D7
Whisky that came from Twickenham,  authentic queers and phoney virgins
A minorAm            AmMaj7Ammaj7           Am7Am7
I'd have a bank on every finger, a finger in every country
                       D7D7        BB
And ev'ry country ruled by me I'd still know where I'd want to be
E minorEm     B minorBm      E minorEm       Bm7Bm7      E minorEm
Locked up inside my opium den surrounded by some Chinamen
       B minorBm        E minorEm       D7D7          G+G  D7D7
I'd sing the songs that I sang then about the time they called me Jackie

Chorus:
D7D7     G+G
If I could be for only an hour
             G#dimG#dim Am7Am7
If I could be for an hour every day
D7D7     Am7Am7     D7D7     Am7Am7
If I could be for just one little hour
       D MajorD          G+G D7D7  G+G  D7D7

Verse 3:
G minorGm     Dm7Dm7      G minorGm        Dm7Dm7    G minorGm
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice that if one day in Paradise
      DmDm       G minorGm   Dm7Dm7
I sang for all the ladies up there
G minorGm       Dm7Dm7      G minorGm       Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
And they would sing along with me, we'd be so happy, there to be
       F7F7      Bb majorBb   D7D7
'Cos down below is really no-where
G+G           Gmaj7Gmaj7                G6G6
My name would then be Jupiter and I would know where I was going
            Gmaj7Gmaj7      G+G        Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 D7D7
And I would become all knowing and my beard so long and flow-ing
A minorAm             AmMaj7Ammaj7            Am7Am7
If I became deaf, dumb and blind because I pitied all mankind
                            D7D7      BB
And broke my heart to make things right I'd know that every single night
E minorEm    B minorBm       E minorEm         Bm7Bm7      E minorEm
When my angelic work was through the angels and the Devil too
        Bm7Bm7       E minorEm      D7D7         G+G   D7D7
Would sing my childhood song to me about the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an hour
             G#dimG#dim Am7Am7
If I could be for an hour every day

If I could be for just one little hour
