Tom: C
[Intro] E B
[Primei Parte]
E
If I were a human being
I'd head straight for New Orleans
A
And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong
Like no one they've ever seen
You've heard of Louis Armstrong?
E
Mister Sidney Bechet?
A
All those boys gonna step aside
When they hear this old ex-gator play
Listen!
( C# G# )
[Refrão]
E
When I'm human
As I hope to be
I'm gonna blow this horn
C#
'Til the cows come home
F#
And everyone's gonna bow down to me
[Segunda Parte]
F#
When I'm myself again
I want just the life I had
E
A great big party every night
C#m
That doesn't sound too bad
B
A redhead on my left arm
A brunette on my right
E
A blonde or two to hold the candles
Now that seems just about right
Eh, Louis?
[Prechorus]
E
Life is short
When you're done, you're done
A C
We're on this earth to have some fun
B
And that's the way things are
[Refrão]
E B
When I'm human
And I'm gonna be
C#m
I'm gonna tear it up like I did before
G#m B
And that's the royal guarantee
[Terceira Parte]
A
Your modesty becomes you
C#
And your sense of responsibility
F#
I've worked hard for everything I've got
And that's the way it's supposed to be
C#
When I'm a human being
At least I'll act like one
If you do your best each and every day
Good things are sure to come your way
[Refrão]
C#
What you give is what you get
A#m A
My daddy said that and I'll never forget
C#
And I commend it to you
C#
When we're human
And we're gonna be
F# F
I'm gonna blow my horn
F# C#
I'm gonna live the high life
F# A#
I'm gonna do my best to take my place in the sun
C# F# G# Fm
When we're human
