[Gm] [Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
[Gm] And if [Dm] one day I [Gm] should become a [Bb] singer with a Spanish bum who sings for women of great virtue
[Gm] I'd sing [Dm] to them [Gm] with a guitar [Dm] I borrowed from a [Gm] coffee bar
Well, what you [Dm] don't [Gm] know doesn't hurt [D]
you
[G] My name would be Antonio [Bm] [D] and all my bridges I would [Em] burn
And when I gave them some [G] they'd know I'd expect [C] something in [D] [Em] return
[D]
[A] I'd have to [Am] get drunk every [C] night and talk [E] about virility
[Em] With some old [A] grandmama [D] who might be decked out like a [B] Christmas tree
[E] And [Bm] though pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I [Em] could be
Still I [Bm] would sing my [Em] song to me about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for [Em] only an hour
[G] If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be [Ab] for just [C] one little hour
[D] A cute, cute in a stupid ass way
[Gm]
And if [Dm] I joined the [Gm] social world, became [Dm]
procurer of [Gm] young girls
Then I [D] would have my [G] own [Dm]
bordellos
[Gm] My record would be number one and I'd [Dm] sell records by [G] the ton
[Gm] All sung by many other [D] fellows
[G] My name would then be [Bm] Hassan Jack and I'd sell boats of [Em] opium
Whiskey that came from [G] Swingenham, half-naked queers [C] and [Bm] clowny virgins
[Em] [D]
[Am] If I had fangs on [E] every finger, finger in every [C] country and all the countries ruled by [Bm] me
I'd still know where [B] I'd want to be
[E] Locked up [Bm] inside my opium den, surrounded by some [Em] Chinamen
I'd sing [Bm] the song that I [Em] sang then about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for [A] only an hour
[G] If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be [Ab] for just [C] one little hour
[D] A cute, cute in a stupid [Gm] ass [Dm] way
[Gm] Now [Dm] tell me, wouldn't it be [Gm] nice that if [Dm] one day in [Gm] paradise
I'd [Dm] sing for all the [Gm] ladies up [Dm]
there
[Gm] And they [Dm] would sing along with [Gm] me, we'd be [Dm] so happy that'd [Gm] be
Cause [Dm] down below is [Gm] really [D] nowhere
[G] If my name were [Bm] Juniper, then I would know [D] where I [Em] was going
And then I would become [G] all-knowing, my beard so very [C] [Bm] long and [Em] flowing
[D]
[Am] If I became deaf, [C] dumb and blind, because [E] I pitied [Am] all mankind
And broke my heart [Bm] to make things right, I'd [B] know that every single night
[E] When [Bm] my angelic work was through, the angels [D] and the devil [Em] too
Would sing [D] my childhood [Em] song to me about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for [Em] only an hour
[G] If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be [C] for just one little [D] hour
A cute, cute in a stupid [Gm] ass way
[Dm] [D]
[G]
