[Verse]
Bm
I woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
Bm
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
Bm
Must've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
Bm
How come nobody wants to give me a break?

[Chorus]
Em                                     Bm
 I got the blues right there, mean and low
       F#
I'm as low as the heels of my alligator shoes
           G                 F# F# F#
You should know how it feels 
                                Bm
to have these millionaire blues
Em                    G    F# F# F# F# F# 
    Millionaire blues

[Verse]
Bm
Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
Bm
I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
Bm                                                  Bm
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
N.C.
Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but

[Chorus]
          Em                          Bm
I had the blues right there, mean and mean and mean and low
   F#
As low as the heels on my alligator shoes
           G                 F# F# F#                     Bm
You should know how it feels    to have these millionaire blues
Em              G     F# F# F# F# F# 
    Millionaire blues

Get down!

[Verse]
Bm
Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
Bm
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
Bm                                                 Bm
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
N.C.
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!

[Chorus]
        Em
I said, I said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
             Bm
And he says, 'No', no! Can you believe it?
F#           
I'm as low as the heels of these alligator shoes
           G                 F# F# F#                     Bm
You should know how it feels... to have these millionaire blues
Em              G     F# F# F#                     Bm
    Millionaire blues... to have these millionaire blues
Em              G     F# F# F# F# F#
    Millionaire blues

[Outro]
Bm
Bad, bad! ... That's bad! ... Yeah. So hard ... It's hard sometimes for a boy.

Bm
Ah, I like that! ... That's good ... Get down! ... You're making a very big mistake, man

Bm
Oh yeah ... You'll never work in this town again ... All right
