Intro:
    Am F Dm
     
    G               Am F
    Sha la la la la la
    G
    Huh...

Am                    F
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Dm              G
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
    Am                       F
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
          G
With this black-haired flamenco dancer
 
         Am                    F
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
Dm                G
Sheʼs suddenly beautiful
   Am                 F
We all want something beautiful
G
Man, I wish I was beautiful
 
        Am                 F
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Dm        G
Sha la la la la la la la
Am      F
La yeah
G
Uh huh yeah
 
Am         F
Cut up, Maria!
Dm                   G
Show me some of them Spanish dances
    Am        F
And pass me a bottle
    G
Mr. Jones
 
Am         F
Believe in me.
Dm                 G
Help me believe in anything
       Am           F
ʼCause I want to be someone
      G
Who believes, yeah

Chorus:
    C   F
    Mr. Jones and me
    G
    Tell each other fairy tales and we
    C                      F
    Stare at the beautiful women
           G
    «Sheʼs looking at you.
    Ah, no, no, sheʼs looking at me.»
     
    C              F
    Smiling in the bright lights
    G
    Coming through in stereo
         C           F
    When everybody loves you
    G
    You can never be lonely

      Am              F
Well, I will paint my picture.
Dm              G
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
Am                   F
All of the beautiful colors are very
G
Very meaningful (yeah, well you know)
 
Am                    F
Gray is my favorite color
    Dm           G
I-I felt so symbolic yesterday
Am          F
If I knew Picasso
        G
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Chorus:
    C    F
    Mr. Jones and me,
    G
    Look into the future
            C                      F
    yeah we stare at the beautiful women
           G
    «Sheʼs looking at you. Uh, I donʼt think so.
    Sheʼs looking at me.»
     
    C               F
    Standing in the spotlight
    G
    I bought myself a gray guitar
         C           F
    When everybody lo-ves me
    G                      Am
    I will never be lo-one-ly

Bridge:
                    F
    I will never be lonely
              Am              G
    Iʼm never gonna be looone-ly
     
    Am
    I want to be a lion.
    F
    Everybody wants to pass as cats
    Am
    We all want to be big, big stars
             G
    Yeah but we got different reasons for that.
     
    Am
    Believe in me because
      F
    I donʼt believe in anything
        Am
    And I want to be someone to believe
    G
    To believe, to believe.

Chorus:
    C   F
    Mr. Jones and me
    G
    Stumbling through the barrio
            C                      F
    Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
           G
    «Sheʼs perfect for you, man,
    thereʼs got to be somebody for me.»
     
    C                  F
    I want to be Bob Dylan
        G
    Mr. Jones wishes he was someone
    just a little more funky
        C           F
    When everybody loves you
       G
    Ah son, thatʼs just about as funky as you can be.
     
    C   F
    Mr. Jones and me
    G
    Staring at the video
           C               F
    When I look at the television
              G
    I want to see me staring right back at me.
     
    C                 F
    We all want to be big stars,
           G
    But we donʼt know why, and we donʼt know how.
             C               F
    But when everybody loves me,
                 G
    Iʼm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
     
    C   F
    Mr. Jones and me
    G
    Weʼre gonna be big stars.....
