Sophisticated Beggar

F

{Verse 1]
F
I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day
Eb              Bb           Eb                   Bb         Eb          Bb    C
Counting all my blessings as I'm counting all the money I've accumulated on my way
F
I don't want your plastic Gods
F
Tin-pot religions and silly ideas
F                  Fm
All I want is your money

Ab          Bb      Eb Bb                      F
I listen to you but I know you have nothing to say
F
I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day

[Verse 2]
F
I'm an emancipated firework exploding on your busy street
Eb           Bb            Eb           Bb                   Eb       Bb           C
Strumming my guitar as you pass in your car always trying to knock me clean off my feet
F
I don't care if you own the whole world
F
The stars in the sky
F             Fm
Or a heavenly body

Ab                  Bb           Eb        Bb                    F
You're wasting your time if it's only that that you're trying to convey
F
'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day

[Verse 3]
F
I'm an emaciated hipster drinking dreams and eating consciousness
Eb              Bb            Eb          Bb              Eb      Bb            C
Standing in the gutter in the middle of a splutter hiding horrors underneath my largesse
F
I'd be hoarse for a million years
F
Trying to rescue my brain
F                    Fm
from the flood of my mind

Ab      Bb           Eb         Bb                  F
And all that I need, seems to me, to be needless to say
F
'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day

[Outro]
F
Summer Day
