Breakfast In America

Words & Music:

Supertramp

 

[Capo 3]

Am                G           F

Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got.

Not much of a girlfriend, I never seem to get a lot.

 

E             E7               Am

Take a jumbo across the water, like to see America.

E                E7

See the girls in California.

    Dm                        G

I'm hoping it's going to come true.

            Dm              G

But there's not a lot I can do.

 

 

Could we have kippers for breakfast, Mummy dear, Mummy dear?

They got to have 'em in Texas, 'cause everyone's a millionaire

 

I'm a winner, I'm a sinner, do you want my autograph?

I'm a loser, what a joker.

I'm playing my jokes upon you.

While there's nothing better to do, hey!

 

E   E7   Am  [2x]

F   Dm   G

 

Don't you look at my girlfriend, girlfriend,

'Cause she's the only one I got.

Not much of a girlfriend, girlfriend.

I never seem to get a lot.  (What's she got?  Not a lot.)

 

Take a jumbo across the water, like to see America

See the girls in California.

I'm hoping it's going to come true.

But there's not a lot I can do, hey.

 

E   E7   Am  [2x]

F   Dm   G
