VERSE 1
E
“All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die” 
             C7                        D
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
      E                     
It's apropos of nothing he says his name is William
            C7                                    D
But I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy 
              E      
And he's plain ugly to me, and I wonder if he's
C7                                         D
Ever had a day of fun in his whole life 
E                                               C7                      D
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday in the bar that faces the giant car wash
E
And the good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch breaks
C7                         D                               Bb-/A
  hosing and scrubbing as best they can in skirts and suits 
A                                             Bb-/A
  And they drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
A                                                 Bb-/A
  Back to the phone company, the record stores, too
A
  Well, they're nothing like Billy and me 


CHORUS
                   E
'Cause All I wanna do is have some fun
          C7                           D
I got a feeling I'm not the only one        (x2)

            E
All I wanna do is have some fun
             C7             B7
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard 

/E---/----/C7---/D---/ 


VERSE 2
E
  I like a good beer buzz, early in the morning
C7                                   D
Billy likes to peal the labels from his bottles of bud
E
  He shreds them on the bar then he lights up every match
                 C7                   D
In an oversized pack letting each one burn
        E                                                 C7
Down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out,
                             D                
he's watching the bottles of bud as they spin on the floor 
A                                  Bb-/A               
  And a happy couple enters the bar
(A)                              Bb-/A
dangerously, close to one another
(A)
the bartender looks up from his want ads 
 
CHORUS
/E---/----/C7---/D---/ (x2)


VERSE 3
A                  
  Otherwise the bar is ours,
Bb  A
      the day and the night and the car wash, too,
Bb  A                                             
      the matches and the Buds, and the clean 
Bb  A
      and dirty cars, the sun and the moon


CHORUS
                   E
'Cause All I wanna do is have some fun
          C7                         D
I got a feeling I'm not the only one     (x2)

            E
All I wanna do is have some fun
          C7                           D
I got a feeling the party has just begun
            E
All I wanna do is have some fun
           C7                      D
I won’t tell you’re the only one
            E
All I wanna do is have some fun
             C7
Until the sun comes up over
D                       E
Santa Monica Boulevard      (x2)
