Hit it...[Bb] [A] This ain't no disco
[Bb]and it ain't no [A]country club
[Bb] [A]this L.A.

[E]"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die" says the
[C]man next to me [D]out of nowhere
[E]Apropos of nothing, he says his name's William but I'm sure he's
[C]Billy, Mac or [D]Buddy
he's [E]plain ugly to me, and I
[C]wonder if he's ever had a [D]day of fun in his life
[E]We are drinking beer at noon on a Tuesday
[C]in a bar that faces a giant [D]car wash
[E]The good people of the world are washing their cars
[C]on their lunch break, [D]as best as they can in skirts and suits

[Bb] [A]They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
[Bb] [A]back to the phone company and the record store
[Bb] [A]Well they're nothing like Bily and me,

{soc}
cause all I wanna [E]do is have some fun,
I've got a [C]feeling that I'm not the [D]only one,
all I wanna [E]do is have some fun,
I've got a [C]feeling that I'm not the [D]only one
all I wanna [E]do is have some fun,
until the [C]sun comes up over [D] Santa Monica boule[E]vard
[C] [D]
{eoc}

[E]I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
[C]and Billy likes to peel the labels from his [D]bottle of Bud
[E]and shred them on the bar, then he lights every match in an oversized pack
[C]letting each one [D]burn down to his
[E]thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
[C] [D]

[Bb] [A]and he's watching the Buds as they spin on the floor,
[Bb] [A]a happy couple enters the bar dangerously close,
[Bb] [A]the bartender looks up from his want ads

{comment:Chorus}

[Bb] [A]otherwise the bar is ours
[Bb] [A]the day and thee night and the car wash too
[Bb] [A]the matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
[Bb] [A]the sun and the moon

{comment:Chorus}

{comment:continue chorus, sometimes replace -Ive got a feeling Im not the only one-}
{comment:with -I want to tell you the party has just begun-}
{comment:then fade-slowdown on the E-C-D pattern, and end on Bb A}


Verse: (guitar "solo")--very easy to figure out and I'll leave to you for
the sake of expediency in posting this crd. If you want it tabbed out,
just contact me.

Pre-chorus:

Otherwise the bar is ours, and the day and the night
And the car wash too, the matches and the Buds
And the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon

Chorus:

All I wanna do...


I will attempt to post this to Nevada as well.
