Intro: A  G (4 times) 
 
Verse One: 
G                                    A G 
Couple of guys sittin around drinkin 
G                         A G 
Down at the Starlight Bar 
G                              A G 
One of em says you I've been thinking 
G                E 
Other one says, that won't get you too far 
G                                       A G 
He says, this is your life and welcome to it 
G                                       A G 
It's just workin and drinkin and dreamin 
G                    A G 
Ad on TV says 'just do it' 
G 
Hell if I know what that means 
 
Chorus One: 
      D 
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee 
      Bm 
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball 
      G 
The secret of life is a beautiful woman 
     A 
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall 
 
Verse Two: (chords the same as Verse One) 
You and me we're just a couple a zeros 
Just a couple of down and outs 
But movie stars and football heroes 
What do they have to be unhappy about 
So they turn to the bartender, 'Sam, what do you think 
What's the key that unlocks that door' 
Sam don't say nothin just wipes off the bar 
And he pours them a couple more 
 
 
Chorus Two: (chords in all four choruses are the same) 
Cause the secret of life is Sam's martinis 
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes 
The secret of life is Monday night football 
Rolling stones records and mom's apple pies 
 
Instrumental:  D  Bm  G  A 
 
G                                A G 
Sam looks up from the Sunday paper 
G                                  A G 
Says, boys you're on the wrong track 
G                                        A G 
The secret of life is there ain't no secret 
G 
And you don't get your money back 
 
Chorus Three: 
The secret of life is gettin up early 
The secret of life is stayin up late 
The secret of life is try not to hurry 
But don't wait, don't wait 
 
Chorus Four: 
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee 
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball 
The secret of life is to find the right woman 
The secret of life is nothing at all 
 
  D and then: 
                   Bm 
Oh it's nothing at all 
      G            A 
The secret of life 
 
G                                   A G 
Couple of guys sittin around drinkin 
G                         A G 
Down at the Starlight Bar 
G                               A G 
One of em says you I've been thinking 
                 E 
Other one says, that won't get you too far 
E7 
That won't get you too far
