When We're Human Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Fm]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
If [C]I were a human being
I'd head straight
for New Orleans
And I'd blow this horn
so [F]hot and [Fm]strong
Like [C]no one [A]they've ever [D]seen[G]
You've [C]heard of Louis Armstrong
Mr. Sidney Bechet?
All those boys gonna [F]step [Fm]aside
When they [C]hear this [A]old ex-[D]gator [G]play

[Solo 1]
Listen
[A][A][A][E]
[A][A]
[G][G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]When I'm human
As I hope to be
I'm gonna [F]blow this horn
'Til the [C]cows come [A]home
And [D]everyone's gonna bow [G]down to me

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Thank you, thank[F] you, [E]mwah-mwah
[Am]Aw, thank you, I l[F]ove you too [E]baby
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]When I'm myself again
I want just the life I had
A great big party [F]every [Fm]night
[C]That doesn't sou[A]nd too bad[D][G]
A [C]redhead on my left arm
A brunette on my right
A blonde or two to [F]hold the [Fm]can dles
Now [C]that seems just about [D]right
Eh, [G]Louis?
[C]Life is short
When you're done, you're done
We're [F]on this earth
To [Fm]have some fun
And [C]that's the [A]way things [D]are[G]

[Chorus 2]
[C]When I'm human
And I'm gonna be
I'm gonna [F]tear it up like I [C]did be[A]fore
And [D]that's the royal [G]guarantee

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][E]
[Am][F][E]
[E][E]

[Verse 3]
Your [A]modesty becomes you
And your sense of responsibility
I've worked hard for every[D]thing
I've [Dm]got
And [A]that's the [F#]way it's supp[B]osed to [E]be
When [A]I'm a human being
At least I'll act like one
If you do your best each and [D]every [Dm]day
[A]Good things are [F#]sure to [B]come your [E]way
[A]What you give is what you get
My [D]daddy said that
And I'll [Dm]never forget
And [A]I c[F#]ommend it t[B]o y[E]ou

[Outro 1]
[A]When we're human
And we're gonna be
I'm gonna [D]blow my horn
I'm gonna live the high [A]life
I'm gonna [D]do my best
To take my [A]place [Db]in the su[F#]n
[B]When [E]we're
[A]human[D][Dm]
[A][E][A]
