Song
Sha la la la la la la
Primeira Parte
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
G Riff 1
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
Tab - Riff 1
E|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|---2-0------------------------------------| E|-3----------------------------------------|
She dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
Riff 1 Am
So come dance this silence
Down through the mornin'
Sha la la la la la la la yeah
Tab - Riff 2

Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
F G Riff 1
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be
Someone who believes
Refrão 1
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me"
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Segunda Parte
Riff 1 Am F Dm
Well, I'm paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red
Black and gray
All of the beautiful colors
Are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well
Riff 1 Am F
You know gray is my favorite color
Dm G Riff 2 Am
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself
A gray guitar and play
Refrão 2
Mr. Jones and me
Look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you
I don't think so. She's looking at me"
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll never be lonely
Terceira Parte
I'll never be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be lonely
I wanna be a lion
Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars, yeah,
But we've got different reasons for that
Am Riff 3
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone to believe
To believe, to believe

Refrão 3
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me"
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone
Just a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Oh, son
That's just' bout as funky as you can be
Refrão 4
Mr. Jones and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television
I wanna see me staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me
I'll be just' bout as happy as I could be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
Tab - Guitarra Riff
