[Intro]
 
 D   A   C   G  X2
 Am  F  X4
 
 
[Verse]
Am                       F
  Look up here, I’m in heaven
Am                              F
  I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
Am                           F
  I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Am                     F
  Everybody knows me now
 
Am  F  X4
 
Am                            F
  Look up here, man, I’m in danger
Am                           F
  I’ve got nothing left to lose
Am                         F
  I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Am                             F
  Dropped my cell phone down below
 
Am    F                       Am      F
        Ain’t that just like me
 
 
[Bridge]
C         Eb   G       F#
  By the time I got to New York
C         Eb     G   F#
  I was living like a king
C         Eb     G      F#
  Then I used up all my money
C       Eb       G      F#
  I was looking for your ass
 
 
[Verse]
Am              F
  This way or no way
Am                  F
  You know, I’ll be free
Am                F
  Just like that bluebird
Am                          F
  Now, ain’t that just like me
 
Am             F
  Oh, I’ll be free
Am                  F
  Just like that bluebird
Am             F
  Oh, I’ll be free
Am                     F
  Ain’t that just like me
 
 
[Outro]
Am  F  X12

Sorry, my previous post lost it's formatting somehow, so here's a repost with the proper formatting: Great work on this, but if I may make a few suggestions: For the intro, the chords should be: (Dm, Am, C, F)x1 - this should only be played one time, as when the saxopone comes in, the (Am, F) begins. For the chorus(By the time I got to New York...) the chords should be as follows: C Cm7 Bm7 By the time I got to New York - this chord progression of C, Cm7, Bm7 repeats for each line of the chorus The outro, after the last instance of "Ain't that just like me" should be: (Am, F)x3 - only played as a group three times, followed by the Am you mention as the last chord, which is really played as open strings that hammer on to the Am chord, as in: X00000 followed by a hammer-on by each finger to the standard Am: X02210 (apologies for the bad fingering representations!) Again, excellent job and keep up the good work!

during the verse, i add a G at the end of the F chord, before going back to Am, to simulate the F G Am chords of the electric guitar
