Chords for Boomtown Rats - Looking After No. 1 (1977)

[G] We got to the point where we could do no more than Ireland.
[G#] We made a demo tape and took it to
England and because we are better than any other band we got a [G] contract so we made an album and
because we learned that nobody else is going to lift a finger for us and that [G#] we can only [G] trust
ourselves we became a question of looking after number one.
