Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?
[A C A]
A Dm A
Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver (Dri-ver),
A Dm-A
trying to find out what he used to do.
Dm G Dm
Tells me that he always kept his engine (En-gine),
A
spit and polished up as good as new.
Dm
But he said his only great ambition
A Dm
was to work with lions in a zoo.
A Dm
Oh, to work with lions in a zoo.
Dm A Dm A
Yes dear, you heard right,
Dm G A
told me his ambition was to work with lions every night.
[Dm A Dm A Dm G A]
Look at the average person
speak to the man on the beat
Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?
[A C A]
Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (Waitress),
I asked exactly what it was she did.
Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides (Seasides),
winter time she ran away and hid.
Once she had a hollywood audition
but the part was given to a kid.
Yes,the part was given to a kid.
Yes sir, you heard it right,
hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight.
[Dm A Dm A Dm G]
Inter:[Am G Bb F E]
Well, I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer (Boxer),
asked him what had been his greatest night.
He looked into the corners of his memory (Memory),
searching for a picture of the fight.
But he said he always had a feeling
that he lacked a little extra height
(Could have used a little extra height).
Yes mate, you heard right,
he always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height.
[Dm A Dm A Dm G A]
[Dm A] x4
Look at the average person
speak to the man in the queue
Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?

version 3
Tuning: Standard
I added some split chords (the bass does amazing things on this recording!).
But it is of course possible to play the regular shapes as well for the
sake of convenience.
