William DJ, [D] William DJ
This is an old song that I did with the birds
[A] [D] When I was in fear of getting my life taken away from me
[Bm] [A]
[D]
Well, he's got him
on [A] the hill
He plays country music
[G] To you that be [D] thrilled
He's a fireman's friend
[G] He's an all night DJ
[A] But he sure don't pay much of the records he [D] plays
He's a drugstore truck [A] driving man
He's the head of the
cute [D] bus band
When summer rolls [G] around
[A] He'll be lucky
If he's not [D] in a real rush to go to sleep
[A]
[G]
[D]
Well,
[G]
[A]
[D]
it don't like the young [A] folks I know
Ozzy told me one night
On [G] his radio [D] show
He's got him
He
[G] wanted to work
It [A] weighs 500 pounds
And it sleeps on his [D] floor
He's a drugstore truck [A] driving man
He's the head of the cute [D] bus band
When summer rolls [G] around
[A] He'll be lucky if he's [D] not in town

Well, he's been like a father [A] to me
He's the only DJ you [G] can hear [D] after three
I'm an all night musician
[G] In a rock and roll band
[A] And why he don't like me I can't [D] understand
He's just a drugstore truck [A] driving man
He's the head of the
cute [D] bus band
When summer rolls [G]
around
[A] He'll be lucky if he's not [D] in town
When summer [G] rolls around
[A] He'll be lucky if he's [D] not in town
