Alexander

	  		
Intro: C E F G (2x) 

verse 1 
         C                    E 
Getting high at a quarter to nine 
         F                            G 
And you throwing all your favourite lines 
          C                              E 
And that red-head said he's living with you 
         F                   G 
And he copies everything you do... 

         C                      E 
And you throw your California smile 
         F                         G 
And you warn me this could take a while 
         C                         E 
So while you think of something to do 
     F                           G 
I'm thinking I could stick with you 

              C                       E 
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander 
        F                    G 
You've made up a name for yourself 
               C                    E 
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander 
        F                    G 
You've made up a name for yourself 

Interlude  
F G 

verse 2 
      C                       E 
In a town at the edge of the Nile 
       F                    G 
I can see that California smile 
           C                          E 
There's a boat with your name on the side 
         F                        G 
And it waits for the turn of the tide 

      C                     E 
In between your Casino and mine 
       F                           G 
I can see that there's a delicate line 
             C               E 
And I can't tell our voices apart 
             F                   G 
And I can't tell your life from art 

           C                  E 
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander 
        F                    G 
You've made up a name for yourself 
              C                    E 
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander 
         F                          G 
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

            C 
Cause you threw me California 
      E 
The Great California 
  F                       G 
Ring me when you've had enough of California 
           C 
You're a ghost Alexander 
      E 
The Great Alexander 
        F                    G 
You've made up a name for yourself, Alexander 

      C 
The first Alexander 
      E                     F                                     G 
The Great, Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate, Alexander 
      C 
You threw me California 
         E                   F                              G 
I can't beat Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate
