C D C G ** People say that I'm high class but I'm low down all the while.
C D C G G ** People think that I'm just crazy when I flash that San Antonio smile. [Chorus]

A C G G* while I'm waiting for your blonde hair to turn grey. [Verse 2]
C D C G ** People call me a drinker but I'm sober half the time.

A C G G ** while I'm waiting for your blonde hair to turn grey. [Bridge]
C C G G ** All my life I waited for someone who would show where the bliss is.
C C D D All my life I waited for someone who would take me past the kissing. [Interlude]
C C D C G G G* [Verse 3]
