INTRO

B(7)
When I was a little boy
B(7)
Way back home in Liverpool,
Em Em/D C#m7b5 C D7
My mama told me, I was great [riff]
B(7)
Then when I was a teenager,
B(7)
I knew that I had got something going,
Em Em/D C#m7b5 C D7
All my friends told me, I was great [riff]
B(7)
And now I'm a man
B(7)
A woman took me by the hand
Em Em/D C#m7b5 C D7
And you know what she told me? I was great [riff]
D
I was in the greatest show on earth,
D
For what it was worth
E
Now I'm only thirty-two
E (break) E E (break)
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo, hey! [chromatic lick)
B(7)
I looked in the mirror,
B(7)
I saw my wife and kids,
Em Em/D C#m7b5 C D7
And you know what they told me? I was great [riff]
D
Yes, my name is Billy Shears,
D
You know it has been for so many years,
E
Now I'm only thirty-two
E (break) E E (break)
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo, hey! [chromatic lick)
SOLO (slide guitar)

In this world
And in the next world
And in any world
Alright, alright, alright ...
