I walked outta my job about a week ago
            D                       G
And I'm now sleeping in a telephone booth
G                            C
But I'm gonna be the richest guy around

When I first met you babe you nearly made me wreck
   D                   G
My old forty-nine Cadillac
G                                   C

  D                        G

BREAK
 
G                            C
Well you made me the top dog of your hill
    D           G
And I was overjoyed
G                                 C
But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone
             D                    G
I joined the ranks of the unemployed
G                               C
Now I'm right back where that I started from
