Verse 1:
Gm     Dm7      Gm      Dm7      Gm
And if one day I should become a singer with a Spanish bum
       Dm       Gm  Dm7
Who sings for women of great virtue
Gm     Dm7      Gm        Dm7      Gm
I'd sing to them with a guitar I'd borrowed from a coffee bar
        F7         Bb    D7
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you!
G          Gmaj7              G6
My name would be Antonio and all my bridges I would burn
                Gmaj7      G       Am7 D7 Am7 D7
And if I gave them some they'd know I'd expect something in return
Am             Ammaj7          Am7
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility
                        D7    B
With some old Grandmother who might be decked out like a Christmas tree
Em       Bm      Em         Bm7       Em
And though pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I could be
        Bm7      Em      D7         G
Still I would sing my song to me about the time they called me Jackie

Chorus:
D7     G
If I could be for only an hour
             G#dim Am7
If I could be for an hour every day
D7     Am7     D7     Am7
If I could be for just one little hour
       D          G D7  G  D7

Verse 2:
Gm    Dm7        Gm       Dm7      Gm
And if I joined the social whirl, became procurer of young girls
       Dm       Gm  Dm7
Then I would have my own bordellos
Gm     Dm7      Gm        Dm7      Gm
My record would be number one and I'd sell records by the ton
       F7    Bb  D7
All sung by many other fel-lows
G               Gmaj7             G6
My name would then be Handsome Jack and I'd sell boats of opium
               Gmaj7       G        Am7  D7 Am7 D7
Whisky that came from Twickenham,  authentic queers and phoney virgins
Am            Ammaj7           Am7
I'd have a bank on every finger, a finger in every country
                       D7        B
And ev'ry country ruled by me I'd still know where I'd want to be
Em     Bm      Em       Bm7      Em
Locked up inside my opium den surrounded by some Chinamen
       Bm        Em       D7          G  D7
I'd sing the songs that I sang then about the time they called me Jackie


Chorus:
D7     G
If I could be for only an hour
             G#dim Am7
If I could be for an hour every day

If I could be for just one little hour

Verse 3:
Gm     Dm7      Gm        Dm7    Gm
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice that if one day in Paradise
      Dm       Gm   Dm7
I sang for all the ladies up there
Gm       Dm7      Gm       Dm7      Gm
And they would sing along with me, we'd be so happy, there to be
       F7      Bb   D7
'Cos down below is really no-where
G           Gmaj7                G6
My name would then be Jupiter and I would know where I was going
            Gmaj7      G        Am7 D7 Am7 D7
And I would become all knowing and my beard so long and flow-ing
Am             Ammaj7            Am7
If I became deaf, dumb and blind because I pitied all mankind
                            D7      B
And broke my heart to make things right I'd know that every single night
Em    Bm       Em         Bm7      Em
When my angelic work was through the angels and the Devil too
        Bm7       Em      D7         G   D7
Would sing my childhood song to me about the time they called me Jackie


Chorus:
D7     G
If I could be for only an hour
             G#dim Am7
If I could be for an hour every day
D7     Am7     D7     Am7
If I could be for just one little hour
       D          G D7  G  D7
