Am Dm C E I've been sleeping in a cardboard box Am Dm C E spending every dollar at the liquor shop Am C F and even though I know I haven't got a lot Dm E Abm Am I try to give you loving till the day you drop Am Dm C E I've been training like a Pavlov dog Am Dm C E sent my independence out to take a hike Am C F Dm all you gotta do is activate my bell E Abm Am and I'll fetch you anything you like Chorus: D C going once, going twice F G every man here has a price D C over here, over there F G sold to not a single lady in here Am Dm C E I've been here like a thousand times Am Dm C E Dated every woman in the atmosphere Am Dm C E I've been to every continent Am Dm C Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere E Am C F And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent Dm E Abm Am Just remember not to love me when I disappear Am Dm C I graduated at the top E Am Dm C I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie E Am C F So if you have a fantasy of being a queen Dm E Abm Am Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me D C going once, going twice F G Won't these gentlemen suffice? D C Any here, Any there F G Any motions anywhere D C going twice, going thrice F G guess this means we'll go 4 times a lady Bridge: A E D A I promise I'll be all you need, ever need Bm E A D you'll never have to shop around A E D A I'll give you all you ever need, ever need Bm E A D don't worry I will never let you down, let you down Bm E A don't worry I will never let you down. Am Dm So many ladies are wanting for mates C E And the prospects are good But the date's never great Am Dm C E Over here Over there Over where Anywhere Am Dm They're too busy With winning C E The bidding To care and he's D Sold This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

In case anyone was wondering, G7 is a good alternative for Abm
-2 or -5 are probably the easiest
It’ll still take a bit of practice though some notes are a little hard to get to if your a beginner but with a week’s practice it’ll get easier
