[Verse 1]
G
Well used to be heavy but now I'm thin
C7
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
G D7
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
G
My feet are still long and my hair is too
C7
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
[Verse 2]
G
Well I couldn't play ball 'cause I couldn't run fast
C7
Never got a date 'cause I never got asked
G D7
Couldn't jump high or walk around too long
G
Couldn't talk too much about the women I had
C7
Friends talked about them made me feel real bad
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
[Verse 3]
G
Well, the girls would tell me that my eyes was blue
C7
Sometimes I told 'em that theirs was too
G D7
Said I was funny and sweeter than mama's pie
G
For many long years I hardly ever got laid
C7
Now I know dammit that my dues have been paid
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 4]
G
Well I used to go drinking and look for my bride
C7
Walk into parties and the girls would hide
G D7
They didn't want no fat boys in they rooms
G
They always used to tell me we could be good friends
C7
You can sleep on the pallet when the party ends
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
[Verse 5]
G
Now I got a little woman that I kiss each day
C7
She likes my looks and some of my ways
G D7
Glad I'm not a fat boy any more
G
Her hair's real curly and her eyes real brown
C7
She rubs my belly when I'm laying down
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
[Verse 6]
G
Yeah, I used to be heavy but now I'm thin
C7
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
G D7
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
G
My feet are still long and my hair is too
C7
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
G D7 G
I won't be a fat boy any more
