LOOKING AFTER NO. 1 - The Boomtown Rats After looking on tab on here some of them didn’t have the guitar chord change half way through. This is copied from the 1977 sheet music. Intro: drums for 2 and half bars then D A The world owes me a living I waited on this dole queue too long I’ve been standin’ in the rain for fifteen minutes - that’s a quarter of an hour too long oh oh ho oh oh ho I’ll take all they can give me And then I’m gonna ask for more Cos the money’s buried deep in the bank of England and I want the key to the vault I’m gonna take your money! Count your loss when I’m gone. I’m alright Jack! Lookin’ after number one If I want something I get it Don’t matter what I have to do I’ll step on your face on your mother’s grave never underestimate me I’m nobody’s fool oh oh ho oh oh ho I don’t owe no-one nothing If it’s me they must come to Stop look think baby I always get what I want and I want to get you (Repeat chorus) Don’t wanna be like you I don’t wanna live like you Don’t wanna talk like you you you at all Number one Solo Chords: / / / / / / / / Don’t give me love thy neighbour Don’t give me charity Don’t give me peace and love or the good lord above you only get in my way with your stupid ideas oh oh ho oh oh ho I am an island Entire of myself And when I get old older than today I’ll never need anybody’s help in any way. (Repeat chorus) Don’t wanna be like you I don’t wanna live like you Don’t wanna talk like you you at all I’m gonna be like I’m gonna be like I’m gonna be like - Me!
