C  G  Am  E  F  Dm  G  C

C                  G  
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine  
Am                     E  
With your fine Park Avenue clothes  
F                        Dm  
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand  
G                         C  
And the spoon up your nose  
C                  G  
When you woke up that morning  
Am                        E  
In your mansion, you didn't think  
F                       Dm  
You'd be in the back of a police car  
G                          C  
But you were, you were  

C              G  
You had to be a big shot, didn't you?  
Am                     E  
You had to open up your mouth  
F                       Dm  
You had to be a big shot, didn't you?  
G                       C  
All your friends were so impressed  
C              G  
You had to have the last word, didn't you?  
Am                   E  
You know what everything's about  
F                       Dm  
You had to have a white-hot spotlight  
G                         C  
You had to be a big shot last night  

C  G  Am  E  F  Dm  G  C
