Lyrics

(C)Just (F)when (Bb)I (F)say, (Am7)"Boy, we can't miss.

(Gm7)You are (C7)golden," (Bb)then, (F)you do this.

(C)You (F)say (Bb)this (Bbmaj7)guy is (Am7)so cool,

(Bb)snapping his (C)fingers (Gm)like (Bb)a (Dm7)fool:

(F)one more (C)expensive (Am7)kissoff.

(Bb)Who do you think I am?

(F)Lord, I (Dm7)know (Am7)you're a (Gm7)special friend,

but you (Dm)don't (C)seem (Bb)to (F)understand.

We got (Gm)heavy (Dm)rollers, I (C)think (F)you (Bb)should know.

(Bbmaj7)Try (Am7)again (G)tomorrow.

(F)Can't you see they're (Am7)laughing at me.

Get (Bb)rid of him.

(C)I (Gm)don't (F)care what you (Bbmaj7)do at (Am7)home.

o. (Bb)(C)Would you (F)care to (Bbmaj7)explain?

(Fmaj7)Who is the gaucho, amigo?

Why is he standing in your (Ab)spangled leather poncho and your elevator (Dm7)shoes?

(Fmaj7)Bodacious (Am7)cowboys (Dm7)such as your friend will never (Am7)be welcome here,

(C)high (Bb)in (Am)the (Bb)(Dm)Custerdome.

(C)What (F)I (Bb)tell (F)you (Am7)back down the line:

(Gm7)I'll scratch (C7)your back, (Bb)you (F)can scratch mine.

(C)No, (F)he (Bb)can't (Bbmaj7)sleep on (Am7)the floor.

(Bb)What do you (C)think I'm (Gm)(Bb)yelling (Dm7)for?

(F)I'll drop him (C)near the (Am7)freeway.

(Bb)Doesn't he have a home?

(F)Lord, I (Dm7)know (Am7)you're a (Gm7)special friend,

but you (Dm)(C)refuse (Bb)to (F)understand.

You're a (Gm)nasty (Dm)schoolboy with (C)no (F)place (Bb)to go.

(Bbmaj7)Try (Am7)again (G)(Bb)tomorrow.

(F)Don't tell me he'll (Am7)wait in the car.

Get (Bb)Look at you,

(C)(Gm)holding (F)hands with the (Bbmaj7)man from (Am7)Ri o.

(C)Would you (F)care to (Bbmaj7)explain?

(Fmaj7)Who is the gaucho, amigo?

Why is he standing in your (Ab)spangled leather poncho with the studs that match your (Dm7)eyes?

(Fmaj7)Bodacious cowboys (Am7)(Dm7)such as your friend will never (Am7)be welcome here,

(C)high (Bb)in (Am)the (Bb)(Dm)Custerdome.
