G          A#                 F                                        G
    I was sitting there in a comfortable chair and that was all that I needed,

G                    A#         F                                            G
   Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share and that was all that I needed,

   F
   Then I felt the ease,

   But then I'm not too hard to please,
                                G
   I guess you couldn't call me greedy,

G              A#                        F                                 G
   Then I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there in a place so seedy,

G             A#                   F                                             G
   She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair and that was all that I needed,

   F
   Then I said to my friend,

   ??Good God, we're lucky men,
                    G
   Just to even see her'

   Take, take, take,
   Take, take, take,
   Take, take, take,

G          A#                  F                                                  G
   I could not resist, I just had to get close to her and that was all that I needed,

G                A#                F                                            G
   I walked and loomed around her table for a while and that was all that I needed,

   F
   Then I said, ??I hate to bug you ma'am,

   But can I have your autograph?'
                           G
   And that was all that I needed



G                   A#         F                                                  G
   She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper and that was all that I needed,

G            A#                F                                              G
   Then I saw what she wrote, my heart was in my mouth and that was all that I needed,

   F
   Then she handed it to me,

   And I think she could see,
                            G
   That that was all that I needed,

G              A#                 F                                    G
   I started to walk away but then I remembered Hey, I forgot to get a picture,

G                  A#                      F                                           G
   So I asked her one more time, ??Could I have another favour?' That was I all that I needed.

   F
   She was kind and posed with me,

   Then I knew my friends would see,
                G
   My celebrity meeting,

   Take, take, take,
   Take, take, take,
   Take, take, take,

G           A#             F                                     G
   And she said to me, ??I need to go to sleep' and it seemed so mean,

G               A#           F                             G
   It's almost as if she did not appreciate how cool I was being,

   F                          Bb
   She said, Good night' and walked away,

   And I didn't know what to say.
                      G
   I just couldn't believe it.


G                   A#             F                                       G
   Well, it's just not fair, I want to get a piece of hair and that was all that I needed

G              A#                            F                                       G
   Well maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn't wash it for a week. That was all that I needed

   F
   Well she didn't even care,

   That even there,
                    G
   What a horrible feeling.
