Em                                      C B
Whatcha gonna do when the sun goes down tonight
           B   C                                        C      B
You'll hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trash, that's right
                Em                        Am
You've got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants
Em                A
Dago shoes in the colors that match
        G                                 C                            B
But the girls are acting bored and you're feeling like you're going to lose

You've got the g.q. blues

[Verse 2]
    Em                                      C    B
You get up every morning and you go to work each day
           B   C                                C   B
Been doing the same damn job for ten long years this may
            Em                          Am
You've been working and saving for your jamaican dream
Em                   A
Paradise is waiting across the sea
    G                     C                B
But when your plane lands montego turns to monsoon

You've got the island blues

[Hook]
       Em                   Em  D  C
Cause, nothing ever goes as planned
                 B
It's a hell of a notion
Em                    Em  D  C
Even pharaohs turn to sand
                   B
Like a drop in the ocean
Em                                Em  D
You're so together and you act so civilized
    C                               B
But every time that things go wrong you're still surprised
Em                                              B
You've done your duty, you've paid a fortune in dues
B5    A5        G5     F#5      Em
Still got those mother nature's blues

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Em                                          C B
I strut around the stage like a little king tonight
               B   C                          C      B
They'll scream for every word and every note, that's right
             Em                   Am
But when the show is over and I'm all alone
Em                         A
Can't reach my baby on the telephone
    G.                    C                    B
And everywhere I look mr. loneliness is in the news
I've got the big star blues

[Hook]

     Em                   Em  D  C
Boy, nothing ever goes as planned
                 B
It's a hell of a notion
Em                    Em  D  C
Even pharaohs turn to sand
                   B
Like a drop in the ocean
Em                               Em  D
I'm so together and I act so civilized
   C                               B
But every time that things go wrong I'm still surprised
Em                                      B
I've done my duty and paid a fortune in dues
B5    A5        G5     F#5      Em
Still got them mother nature's blues
