D     G     A      D     G - A
La-la-la-la-la-la.....

     D                                                 G
My hair might be a little too long for your taste my friend,
   A                                                    D        G - A
my car might cost a little less than that suite you're wearing.
    D                                          G
I'm glad you stumbled in here on your business trip
   A                                   D
before you close your tab, remember I play for tips.
       Bm                A                      G                A
Well, I bet your wife is beautiful and you're a really big so-and-so.
     G              A          G                      A
Well, I'm not doing bad myself, hey friend, don't you know?


D                                         G
I play guitar and I sing my songs in the sunshine,
A                                            D              G - A
Captain and cokes and bar room jokes keep me feeling fine!
           D                                              G
And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
   A                    A                               D
in my simple way, guess you could say I'm living in the big time!

  D                                       G
I know I'll probably never make a million bucks,
    A                                 D            G - A
but saving accounts and the IRS never worry me much.
D                                          G
I don't need that stuff, 'cause I've got friends like you
   A                                        D
to buy me drinks, have boats and planes that I can use.
  Bm                 A              G               A
I know you're really living in that house up on the hill,
   G                A              G                  A
so if you feel like giving, friend, I've got a jar to fill!


D                                         G
I play guitar and I sing my songs in the sunshine,
A                                            D              G - A
Captain and cokes and bar room jokes keep me feeling fine!
           D                                              G
And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
   A                    A                               D
in my simple way, guess you could say I'm living in the big time!


D                          G
I'm having the time of my life,
                 Em  A                   D       G - A
no worries on my mind, everything's just fine!
  D                       G
Today is even better than yesterday,
                  Em           A                 D      G - A
everything's going my way, I'm living in the big time!

            D                                              G
And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
   A                    A                               D
in my simple way, guess you could say I'm living in the big time!

   A                    A                               D
in my simple way, guess you could say I'm living in the big time!
