Start Jamming...
Well there I was at 18 and
You know, the Beatles just just gone to America, you know
I was in England by the way and
and I was seeing all these movies with pretty girls of California and I
I wrote a song and little did I know this song would be
Would become what it did become 12 years later.
Anyway, I think you know this one breakfast in America
[Cm]
Take [Gm] a look at my girlfriend
[Ab] She's the only one I got
[Cm] We're not [Gm] much of a girlfriend.
[Ab] I never seem to get a lot
We're [G] taking down across the [Cm] water to see America
[G] We're seeing the girls in
[Fm] California I'm hoping it's [Bb] going to come true
[Fm] But there's not a [Bb] lot I can do
[Cm] Oh yeah, could we [Gm] have killer squab breakfast?
[Ab] You need to meet me here
[Cm] You gotta [Gm] have a mint
[Ab] Cuz everyone's a millionaire
I'm [G] a queen, I'm a [Cm] singer
Do you want my autograph?
[G] Well I'm a loser
What a trick, [Fm] gonna play my jokes [Bb] upon you
