           I walked into this bar and the man refused
           He said, "We don't serve strangers in blue suede shoes
           We don't give credit, and we don't give way
           We have to think about what the people might say
           Uh, you know what I mean?" - I said, "Sure, man"
                                                                                                  E A G G/F#

           Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet
           And I offered him one of my cigarettes
           He took it, afraid that he might appear rude
           Then proceeded to sell me some second class food
           B             A                  G                G/F#
           Nice guy  -  meet 'em everywhere
                                                                    (Piano arpeggio to heaven)
                                                                        B  A G G/F#

           He said, "My oh my, I have suffered too long
           And this cigarette seems to be very strong
           I don't make the rules, I just get what I take
           And I guess every rule was made to break
           You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
           Cause I'm just working for the company"
           From the green cigarette, he took a long drag
           And said, "I think I'll pack my travelling bag

          "I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
           And filling the boss's bags with bread
           I want to get out in the sun and rain
           And feel the wind on my skin again
           The world is large, and I've got time yet
           And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette
           B              A               G G/F#
           Mmmm - thank you,very much

          "You know, I feel like a new man
           Yes I do, I don't know why
           B                               A               G G/F#
           I'd just like to say - thank you, very much, indeed

           It's a beautiful day
           I think I'll be on my way, right away

           I'd just like to say - thank you, very much

           Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here

           That's the end of the message - thank you, very much
