COCAMAMIE BUSINESS
By George Harrison
Transcribed by Petteri Jдrvinen
Am
Bust my back on the Levy — broke my strings on the BBC
Dm C E7 G
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island — paid my dues at the Marquee
Am Dm
Slagged off by the N.M.E. — lost my stash and my virginity
Dm E7 Am
In this Cockamamie Business
Am
Got my face on Ed Sullivan — broke my heart on the Soul Train
Dm C E7 G
Introduced to Bad Company — lost cells down at Brain Drain
Am Dm
And before I could mend — lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
Dm E7 Am
In this Cockamamie Business
Am
Now we like to air condition — though the air has no ozone ring
Dm C
Still they’re chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger
E7 G
King
Am Dm
Eating cows with such persistance — doesn’t offer much resistance
Dm E7 Am
To this Cockamamie Business
Am
There are too many things — stressing out the nervous system
Dm C E7 G
Girls you used to know — fellas that may have kissed’em
Am Dm
Some got rabies — Some got fleas — some got incurable diseases
Dm E7 Am
From this Cockamamie Business
Am
Everybody’s after as many points as they can get
Dm
As long as it’s not them that has to pay
C E7 G
No one really minds the Debt
Am Dm
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
Dm E7 Am
With their Cockamamie Business
Am
Well you do what you can — can’t do much more than that
(No you can’t do what he just said)
Dm C E7 G
Some days you’re pretty sharp — on other days you feel half dead
(While you make your daily bread)
Am Dm
Didn’t want to be a star — wanted just to play guitar
Dm E7 Am
In this Cockamamie Business
