Verse 1
Am F
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Dm G
staring at this yellow-haired girl. Mr.
Am F
Jones strikes up a conversation, with this
G Am
black-haired, flamenco dancer. She dances while
F Dm
her father plays, guitar. She's suddenly
G Am F G
beautiful. We all want something beautiful. I
Am
wish I was beautiful. So come dance this silence
F Dm G
down through the morning. sha la la la la la
Am F G Am F
la la yeah uh huh... Cut up, Maria!
Dm G
Show me some of them Spanish dances.
Am F G Am
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones. Believe in
F Dm G
me. Help me believe in anything 'cause
Am F G
I, want to be someone who believes, yeah...
Chorus
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy
C F
tales, yeah well we stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking
C F G
at me." Smiling in the bright lights. Coming
C F
through in stereo. When everybody loves you,
G
you can never be lonely.
Verse 2
Am F Dm
Im gonna paint my picture. Paint myself in
G Am
blue and red and black and gray. All of the
F G
beautiful colors are very very meaningful. You
Am F Dm
know gray is my favorite color. I felt so
G Am F G
symbolic, yesterday. If I knew Picasso, I would buy
C
myself a gray guitar and play,
Refrain
F
Mr. Jones and
G C
me look into the future. We stare at the
F G
beautiful women "She's looking at you. Uh, I
C
don't think so. She's looking at me." Standing

in the spotlight. I bought myself a gray
C F G
guitar. When everybody loves me, I will never
Am Fmaj7 Am
be lonely, I will never be lonely, I'm never gonna
G Am
be lonely. I want to be a lion.
Fmaj7 Am
Everybody wants to pass as cats. We
G
all want to be big, big stars, but we've got
Am
different reasons for that. Believe in me
Fmaj7
because I don't believe in anything
Am G
and I, want to be someone to believe, to believe,
C F G
to believe. Mr.Jones and me, stumbling
C
through the barrio. Yeah we stare at the
F G
beautiful women "She's perfect for you, Man,
C
there's got to be somebody for me."I want to be
F G
Bob Dylan. Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a
C F
little more funky. When everybody loves you,son,
G
that's just about as funky as you can be.
Refrain & End
C F G
Mr.Jones and me staring at the video. When
C F G
I look at the television I want to see me,
C
staring right back at me. We all want to be
F G
big, stars but we don't know why and we
C F
don't know how. But when everybody loves me, I'm
G
going to be, just about as happy as I can be.
End
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars...
