	        verse 1 
  E                            A 
I walked into this bar and the man refused; 
             E                        A 
He said, 'We don't serve strangers in blue suede shoes; 
   E                         A 
We don't give credit, and we don't give way 
   E                            A 
We have to think about what the people might say.. 
        E                          A 
Uh, you know what I mean' I said, 'Sure, man' 
E      A 

verse 2 
       E                        A 
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, 
    E                    A 
And I offered him one of my cigarettes. 
   E                       A 
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, 
        E                      A 
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. 
B                 A         G F# 
Nice guy meet 'em everywhere 

Piano break

B   A  G F# 

verse 3 
       E                   A 
He said, 'My oh my, I have suffered too long, 
    E                       A 
And this cigarette seems to be very strong; 
  E                            A 
I don't make the rules, I just get what I take 
    E                      A 
And I guess every rule was made to break. 
        E                      A 
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me 
      E                        A 
Cause I'm just working for the company.' 
         E                   A 
From the green cigarette, He took a long drag, 
             E                  A 
And said, 'I think I'll pick my traveling bag. 
    E                      A 
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head 
    E                  A 
And filling the boss's bags with bread. 
  E                      A 
I want to get out in the sun and rain, 
    E                  A 
And feel the wind on my skin again; 
    E                        A 
The world is large, and I've got time yet. 
     E                          A 
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette. 
B  A        G F# 
   Thank you very much.' 
E   A 
     'You know, I feel like a new man 
E  A 
     Yes I do, I don't know why; 
B                     A        G F#  E           A 
I'd just like to say: thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day 
E                      A 
 I think I'll be on my way (right away) 
B                        A       G F#   E 
   I'd just like to say: thank you very much. 
   A                             E 
Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here 
E        A 
Yes, I am - bye, bye. 
B                              A        G  F# E      A      E  A 
That's the end of the message. Thank you very much. Bye bye 
B   A  G F# 
E
