Penthouse Pauper Creedence Clearwater Revival
[Intro]
[C7] [Ab7] [Bb7]
[Verse 1]
[C7]Now, if I was a bricklayer[F7],
I wouldn't build just any-[C7]thing;
[F7]And if I was a ball player,
I wouldn't play no second [C7]string.
And if [Ab7]I were some jew'lry, baby;[Bb7]
Lord, I'd have to be a diamond [C7]ring.
[Verse 2]
[C7]If I were a secret, [F7]lord, I never would be [C7]told.
[F7]If I were a jug of wine, then all my flavor would be [C7]old.
I could be [Ab7]most anything,
[Bb7]But it got to be twenty-four karat solid [C7]gold, oh.
[Verse 3]
[C7]If I were a gambler, you know I'd never lose,
[F7]And if I were a guitar player,
Lord, I'd have to play the [C7]blues.
[Instrumental]
[C7] [F7] [C7] [F7] [C7] [Ab7] [Bb7] [C7]
[Verse 4]
[C7]If I was a hacksaw, [F7]my blade would be razor [C7]sharp.
[F7]If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeys[C7] talk.
You can find [Ab7]the tallest building,
[Bb7]Lord, I'd have me the house on [C7]top.
[C7]Oh, let's go!
[Instrumental]
[C7] [F7] [C7] [F7] [C7] [Ab7] [Bb7] [C7]
[Verse 5]
[C7]I'm the penthouse pauper;
[F7]I got nothin' to my [C7]name.
[F7]I'm the penthouse pauper; baby,
I got nothing to my [C7]name.
I can be [Ab7]most anything,
[Bb7]'cause when you got nothin' it's all the [C7]same.
[C7]Oh, let's move to this song!
[Outro]
[C7] [F7] [C7] [F7] [C7] [Ab7] [Bb7] [C7]
[F7]Lord, look at my penthouse[C7].
