Slightly Less Than Wonderful Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Now [G]boys, I'm going to give you a couple
of [B]tunes from my [C]show,
Early to
Bed.
That fine show [A]on
[G]Broadway [F#m]that pays [A]my [D]backhouse
[C]dues, you know.
[G]And I can't kid no more, hold everything,
but here's a couple of them from the show.
[C]There's a gal in my life,
and you're slightly less than wonderful.
Look out now, there it is, yeah.
[F]Yeah.[Cdim]

yes, the jackpot, the gal in my life, yes she is.
