Intro: C E F G (2x)
verse 1
C E
Getting high at a quarter to nine
F G
And you throwing all your favourite lines
C E
And that red-head said he's living with you
F G
And he copies everything you do...
C E
And you throw your California smile
F G
And you warn me this could take a while
C E
So while you think of something to do
F G
I'm thinking I could stick with you
C E
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander
F G
You've made up a name for yourself
C E
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
F G
You've made up a name for yourself
Interlude
F G
verse 2
C E
In a town at the edge of the Nile
F G
I can see that California smile
C E
There's a boat with your name on the side
F G
And it waits for the turn of the tide
C E
In between your Casino and mine
F G
I can see that there's a delicate line
C E
And I can't tell our voices apart
F G
And I can't tell your life from art
C E
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander
F G
You've made up a name for yourself
C E
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
F G
You're still sitting there on the shelf...
