Finger On The Button

A

[Verse 1]
       A                           
I have appointed me the captain of 
   E
my destiny
And proclaimed myself the pilot of 
   A
my soul
       D                           
But my mind remains uneasy cause 
  A
the rest of me
  E                             A
Depends on someone I don't even know

[Chorus]
        D                        
May the man who has his finger on 
                                A
the button have a lovely day today
     E                             
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks 
                               A
him off or bums him out in any way
     D                             
Lord help him keep his cool cause 
he could pull the final curtain on 
  A
my play
        E                        
May the man who has his finger on 
     D             E            A
the button have a lovely day today

[Verse 2]
        A                       
I can recall when only God could 
           E
start the world anew
He who left his babies wasted on the
 A
 shore
             D                     
But now that man could have the 
             A
last word if he wanted to
E                            A
God ain't such a bad dude anymore

[Chorus]
        D                        
May the man who has his finger on 
the button have a lovely night 
   A
tonight
          E                      
Hope he's got himself a honey who 
knows what to do and I hope she does
     A
 it right
          D                        
And in my heart I know that he 
                               A
won't go bananas -- then again, he 
might
        E                        
May the man who has his finger on 
     D             E         
the button have a lovely night 
     A
tonight

[Chorus]
        D                        
May the man who has his finger on 
                                A
the button have a lovely day today
     E                             
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks 
                               A
him off or bums him out in any way
     D                             
Lord help him keep his cool cause 
he could pull the final curtain on 
  A
my play
        E                        
May the man who has his finger on 
     D             E            A
the button have a lovely day today

Send him over anything he wants 
                   A
give him a sixpack of beer
         E                         
Give him my old lady, my girl
