Can you believe me when I say there's nothing I like better
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Than just to sit here and talk with you
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Although I'll rant and I'll rave about one thing and another
Bb Eb
The beauty of it is, hope you'll agree
Bb Eb
Though I'm a poor boy
Bb Eb
I can still be happy
Bb Eb
As long as I can feel free
Bb Eb Bb Eb
So many people I know getting old way too early
(Well are you feeling kind of weary?)
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Just to impress you with the money they made
(You better, you better, you better change your theory)

One drop of rain they complain, and it's the same about the ways they're earning

- Most of the chords (especially the Eb and Bb) are power chords (except
the A7 and D7), some of the less common chords maybe a little out due to
the song being played on piano and tabbed for guitar, but I did the best
I could given that I don't yet have a piano. These chords should work on
piano, although some adjustment might be necessary.
- There is a space on the first line that Roger takes the lead on, the
phrase that precedes 'point of view', because there are several
conflicting lines on the internet and I don't have the CD lyrics to hand,
so I left it blank. All other lines are almost definitely accurate, any
that aren't right are likely mistakes on my part.
