_ _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ I had a big [D] problem.
It's driving me crazy because I've got new strings on my guitar and the first, the top
E string broke and I put a [N] new one on and it wouldn't go in tune and then that broke.
It's unbelievable.
I think I had a bad set of strings.
So I changed in my guitar case a different make and then it was okay.
But it gave me a lot of problems because it made me nervous because I couldn't concentrate
on what I was doing at the beginning but it worked out okay in the [Em] end.
But it was okay.

_ _ For a [G] girl like you, there's [C] nothing in the world I [Em] wouldn't do. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Everybody loves it.
I mean, I [D] wrote it.
I mean, I wrote the song and every year something more happens, you know, more movies or advertisements
or [N] new versions.
It's just every year.
I mean, this year, this is so unbelievable.
It's 41 years and yet there's a verbal, a verbal, an advertisement or whatever, I don't
know in German, in Egypt, in America, England, South Africa, _ [F] TV shows, movies, maybe three
more ads, Israel, Germany and somewhere else, [C] I don't know, France or whatever.
It's [D#] just, you know, you think after 41 years it's like happy birthday, [D#] you know.
Everybody knows it from the northern hemisphere.
[D] They don't know Mungo Jerry but they know_
_ [N] _ _
_ _ And [D] yeah, they don't know Mungo Jerry because they don't know who I am, Ray [D#] Gorsett, but
when I hear the melody, so many people have done it, so [N] many different versions and Bob
Dylan's done like three versions [B] and Elton John's done [N] Elton John and Benny Idol sang
it with Slash playing the guitar solo and Shaggy went to number one in America, James
Glass, you know, people from _ 40 years old covered it up until now.
So, it's just a strange one, really.
It's just really unbelievable.
It's a God-given [E] gift. _ _

_ _ [E] _ _ _ In the summertime when the weather is hot, we can shoot bad luck, paint turtles to [A]
the
ground, you got ribbon, [E] you got ribbon on your mind.
_ Have a drink, have a [A] drive, go out and see [E] what you can find.
[E] _ If that is rich, take a ride for a minute, if that is poor, just do what you see.
[A] I spend a lot on the lake, I do it all the time, [E] it's really fine.
_ [B] When the sun goes down, you can make it big and [E] good and really bad.
_ When I'm crazy, when I'm dirty, when I'm free, we love everybody, but we do it simply.
[A] Oh, when the weather's fine, we go fishing or just [E] singing in the sea.
_ [B] We're always happy, [A] life's a living, it's our [E] philosophy.
_ _ Sing along with me.
_ _ _ You are happy.
[A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] You are happy.
[A] _ _ _ [E] Alright, alright. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ When the winter's here, the air is bad, it's hot.
Bring the battle winger back, cause it's a sippy summertime.
[A] And then once again, we go jumping on the deep [E] ocean of doubt.
_ _ Here she is, she's nice, beautiful, come on, let's go in the house.
_ _ [N] _
_ _ _ Is that cool?
That was cool.
Okay, good.
So, is that it?
That's it, yeah.
Okay, well, thanks for taking the trouble.
[D#] Thank you.
We'll try and find you an album then.
I can't understand where the [E] guys are getting on.
All right. _
