Michael wrote this one in Eb but I
transposed it down to A so it´s easier to sing.

[Am79/D] [] 4 times
[] F# Earth [] quakes and my [] Bug [] breaks
[] You need a light to [] see through the [] smog []
[] It´s like D-[]-day out on the [] free [] way
[] I´d like to crawl back [] under my [] log []
All these [] Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the Sunset Strip
just like [] Pharaos down the Nile.
[] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [] / [Am79/D] []
[] Dog [] bites [] lost [] kites
[] he says Thanks but [] he never says [] Please []
[] We both [] shave and we [] jump [] waves
[] He never has much skin [] on his [] knees []
You know [] he´s got the habit now for Peter Rabbit now,
[] and Disney crocodiles.
[] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [] / [Am79/D] []
Solo one verse until...
All these [] movie stars and all these Jane and Tarzan just to,
[] run the three minute mile.
[] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [] / [Am79/D] []f
