[E] Ladies and gentlemen, [B] ladies and gentlemen, all the friends and fleas, [F#] in this corner,
from the [Em] city of the big shoulders, the number one, 100 [F#] pound exhibition for [B] your entertainment.
[E] Bell sounds, prepare yourselves [E] for the [A] lazy [B] legs.
[E] When I was a man, I had to eat little slags of [D] corn.
Now it's [E] like a gun in the old west.
[B] Everybody wants me to [D] go.
[E] It [A] would be like getting shot if you were little slags [G] of corn.
But if [E] someone had told me to give it up, [B] this is the line that I [G] wouldn't have crossed.
Look [E] at [F#] me.
[E] Can't you [F#] see?
[E] I'm up against the road.
It's so hard to cope with this [F#] feeling.
[G] I'm a great [A] climber.
