           A                                               

Well we’re big rock singers, we got golden fingers                            

                              E                                  

and we're loved everywhere we go,               

 

we sing about beauty and we sing about truth   

   E7                        A                     

at ten thousand dollars a show;                 

 

we take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills,                 

                           D                            

but the thrill we've never known,               

        E                                        

is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture

I got a freaky old lady, name a’ Cocaine Katy

                     E

who embroiders on my jeans,

                                        E7              A  

I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy, drivin' my limousine

 

Now it's all designed to blow our minds

                              D

but our minds won't really be blown,

         E

like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture

                            A

We got a lot of little teenage, blue-eyed groupies who do anything we say

                                    E7                   A

we got a genuine Indian guru, who's teachin' us a better way,

 

we got all the friends that money can buy,

       E

and we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture
