 EEDA
 The world owes me a living      
 EEDA
 I waited on this dole queue too long      
 E
 I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes -
 DAE
that's a quarter of an hour too long

 AEAE
 oh oh ho, oh oh ho

 EEDA
 I'll take all they can give me      
 EEDA
 And then I'm gonna ask for more      
 E
 Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
 DAE
and I want the key to the vault

Chorus: A F#m N.C. D
 EADE
               I'm gonna take your money! Count your loss when I'm gone.
A F#m N.C. D E
N.C. D A
I'm alright Jack! Lookin' after number one

 EEDA
 If I want something I get it      
 EEDA
 Don't matter what I have to do      
 E
 I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
 DAE
 never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool

 AEAE
 oh oh ho, oh oh ho

 EDA
 I don't owe no-one nothing    
 EDA
 If it's me, they must come to    
 EEEE
 Stop, look, think, baby
 DAE
 I always get what I want and I want to get you

(Repeat chorus)

 EAEA
   Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
 EADA
   Don't wanna talk like you, at all

One Hit Chords: E/ E/ E/ A

Solo Chords: E/ A/ E/ A/ E/ A/
A (like don't wanna be ... bit)

 EDA
 Don't give me love thy neighbour    
 EDA
 Don't give me charity    
 E
 Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above,
 DAE
 you only get in my way with your stupid ideas

 EDA
 I am an island    
 EDA
 Entire of myself    
 E
 And when I get old, older than today
 DAE
 I'll never need anybody's help in any way.

(Repeat chorus)

 EAEA
   Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
 EADA
   Don't wanna talk like you, at all

 EEEA
 I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like - Me!
