2  2   6   6  -5  -5  -5  4   -3
I was down at the New Am-ster-dam 
 -5  -5  -5  -5   6  -5   -5    -5 5
Star-ing at this yel-low-haired girl 
5 5  -5*-5    -5   -5 -5 -5 -5  -5  5
M-r. Jones strikes up a con-ver-sa-tion 
 3   3   6    -5     3   6  -5 -5   5   
with a black-haired fla-men-co dan-cer 
 7   -6  6    6   -5  -5  5    -3   -3  -5
She danc-es while his fa-ther plays gui-tar 
 -4   -4  -4  -4  4   -5 -4
She's sud-den-ly beau-ti-ful 
3   6   -5   -5   -5    -5  5  -3
We all want some-thing beau-ti-ful 
-4 -4 -5 -5   5   -4 -4
I wish I was beau-ti-ful 
6   6     6    -5  -55  5
So come dance this sil-ence 
 5      5     5    6  -5

Help me be-lieve in an-y-thing

I want to be some-one who be-lieves 

6 7    8   6-5 -5  
M-r. Jones and me 
 -5   -5  -5  5   6  -5   5
tell each oth-er fair-y tales 
  6   -5 -5   -5  -5 -5  -5  5
Stare at the beau-ti-ful wom-en 
   3    6   -5  -5 -55
"She's look-ing at you. 
5-4 -4  3    6     6    5  5  5
Ah, no, no, she's look-ing at me." 
 -5  -5  -5 -3    5      -5
Smil-ing in the bright lights 
-5  -5    -5    5   6  -6 6
Com-ing through in ste-re-o 
 5   6   -6  6 -5   5    5
When ev-‘ry-bod-y loves you, 
-5  -5  -5  5  5   6   -5
you can nev-er be lone-ly 

-5  6    7   5   5   -5
I will paint my pic-ture 
  6   6   6   6   -6  -6   6  -5    5    5   5
Paint my-self in blue and red and black and gray 
 6  6   6   6   -6  6   7   7
All of the beau-ti-ful col-ors 
 6  -7  6 -5 -5  -5  -5  -5
are ver-y ver-y mean-ing-ful 
 -5  -5 6   7  7   6   5  5
Gray is my fav-or-ite col-or 
5  -5  -5 -5  -5  5  -5  -5  -5
I felt so sym-bol-ic yes-ter-day 
-5 -5  6  7  6  5
If I knew Pi-ca-so 
6   6   -5  -5  -5 -5  -5  -5  -5  -5   -5
I would buy my-self a gray gui-tar and play 


Mr. Jones and me look into the future 
Stare at the beautiful women 
"She's looking at you. 
Uh, 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 will never be lonely 

6  6   6  -5 -5 5  5
I want to be a li-on 
-7  -7 -7  7   7   7   -6  -6  6
Ev-‘ry-bod-y wants to pass as cats 
6   6   6   -5 -5  7   6  5 -3
We all want to be big big stars, 
-3  4   4  -4   -4    -3   -4  -3   3
but we got dif-f’rent rea-sons for that 
6    6   -6  6  5   5
Be-lieve in me be-cause 
5  -7   7    7   -6 -6 6   5
I don't be-lieve in an-y-thing 
 5 -5  6   7  6   5    5  7  5    5
and I want to be some-one to be-lieve 


Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio 
Yeah we star at the beautiful women 
"She's perfect for you, Man, t
here's got to be somebody for me." 
I want to be Bob Dylan 
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone 
just a little more funky 
When everybody loves you, son, 
that's just about as funky as you can be 

6 7    8   6-5 -5  -5  -5  5   5   6 -6 6
M-r. Jones and me star-ing at the vid-e-o 
 5   5  7   7   7   7 -6 -6   6
When I look at the tel-e-vis-ion, 
6  -6  6   6  -5  6    6    -6   6   5  5
I want to see me star-ing right back at me 
-5 -5   -5  -5 -5  7    5
We all want to be big stars, 
 3  3    4    -5   6   3  3    4    -5  6 5
but we don't know why and we don't know how 
 5   5   6   -6  6 -5   5   5
But when ev-‘ry-bod-y loves me, 
 6    6   6  -5  6   6  6
I'm going to be just a-bout 
6   7  7  7  7-7  5
as hap-py as can be 
6 7    8   6-5 -5   
M-r. Jones and me,
