A G E G I've just come in at number twenty five A G E G I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive A G E G And everybody says it's going to get to the top A E Life is so easy when your record's hot. Go tell my mamma and my sister too To press my trousers and polish my shoes I might even end up a rock-and-roll god It might turn into a steady job My agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so" Chorus: D C And my agent said to me: "Son, I always Gsus4 Csus2 told you so." A G E G Now my record's number eleven on the BBC A G E G But number seven on the N.M.E. A G E E Now the Melody Maker want to interview me E D And ask about my politics and theories on pollution Now my record's up to number 3 And a woman recognized me and started to scream This all seems like a crazy dream I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen And now I've got friends that I thought I never had before It's strange how people want you when your record's high 'Cos when it drops down they just pass you by Now my agent just called me on the telephone and said: "Son your record's just got to Number One And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some real money" You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  Csus2  D  E  G  Gsus4  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
