E                            A           E E6 E7
Sometimes I think I'm gonna better myself
E                                 A          E E6 E7
Searching for acceptance in this big, wide world
 A                         D
Sometimes I think I won't make it
  A                         D
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
     E
Sometimes I wanna be a big shot director
      D
And try to make the world understand

Chorus:
                  A    D
By making groovy movies
                  A    D
By making groovy movies
                  A    D E
By making groovy movies

All the movie makers of the world would be
Falling over backwards to have dinner with me
I'll go down to see my producer
And anytime I feel like a break
Or take a long vacation to San Tropez
And think of all the money I'd make

Chorus

I don't want to be a producer
I don't want to be a big star
I just want to be a picture director
And smoke a big Havana cigar

Chorus - x2
