G A# F I was sitting there in a comfortable chair G And that was all that I needed Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share And that was all that I needed A# C A# Well, then I felt at ease but then D F D I'm not too hard to please F F#m G I guess you couldn't call me greedy Then I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there In a place so seedy She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair And that was all that I needed And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men Just to even see her" Chorus: G A# F A# F A# F G Take Take Take Take Take Take Take Take Take And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her And that was all that I needed I walked and loomed around her table for a while And that was all that I needed Then I said, "I hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?" And that was all that I needed She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper And that was all that I needed Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth And that was all that I needed Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see That that was all that I needed I started to walk away but then I remembered "Hey, I forgot to get a picture" So I asked her one more time, "Could I have another favor?" That was all that I needed She was kind and posed with me then I knew my friend would see My celebrity meeting Chorus She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep," And it seemed so mean It's almost as if she could not appreciate How cool I was being She said, "good night" and walked away and I didn't know what to say I just couldn't believe it Well, it's just not fair, I want to get a piece of hair That was all that I needed Or maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn't wash it for a week That would be all that I needed But she didn't even care that I was even there What a horrible feeling You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  D  F  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
