Chesney Hawkes 'The One and Only'
Transcribed by Richard Boodell
As I couldn't find this song on the net I decided to have a go at
figuring it out for myself. So here is my first tab to the site,
I am sure it is correct.
[Verse 1]
B E G# F#
I am the one and only,
B F# G# E G# F# B A
Oh yeah!
G#m B E B C#m
Call me, call me by my name or call me by my number
B
Put me through it
E F#
I'll still be doing it the way I do it
Bm D G
And yet you try to make me forget
D Em D G
Who I really am, don't tell me I'd know best
A B
I'm not the same as all the rest
[Chorus]
B F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B
No body I'd rather be
F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B A
You can't take that away from me
[Verse 2]
G#m B E
I've been a player in the crowd scene
B C#m
A flicker on the big screen
B E F#
My soul embraces one more in a million faces
Bm D G D
High hopes and aspirations ideas above my station
Em D G A B
Maybe but all this time I tried to walk with dignity and pride
[Chorus]
B F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B
No body I'd rather be
F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B A
You can't take that away from me
[Bridge]
A
I can't wear this uniform
F#m
Without some compromises
G Em
Because you'll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
Am C F
No one can be myself like I can
C Dm
For this job I'm the best man
C F G A
And while this maybe true, you are the one and only you!
[Solo] I have worked out my own so you can do the same but
if you can work it out please contact me.
[Chorus]
B F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B
No body I'd rather be
F# G#m E
I am the one and only
G#m F# B A
You can't take that away from me
