[Verse]
G D
A man walks down the street,
C D
he says why am I soft in the middle now,
G D
why am I soft in the middle,
C D
the rest of my life is so hard,
G D
I need a photo-opportunity,
C D
I want a shot at redemption,
G D
dont want to end up a cartoon,
C D
in a cartoon graveyard,
G D
bonedigger, bonedigger,
C D
dogs in the moonlight,
G D C D
far away my well-lit door,
G D
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
C D
get these mutts away from me,
G D C D
you know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.
[Chorus]
G D
If youll be my bodyguard
C D G D C D
I can be your long lost pal,
G D
I can call you Betty,
C D
and Betty when you call me
G D C D
you can call me Al.
[Verse]
G D
A man walks down the street,
C D
he says why am I short of attention,
G D
got a short little span of attention,
C D
and wo my nights are so long,
G D
wheres my wife and family,
C D
what if I die here,
G D
wholl be my role-model,
C D
now that my role-model is
G D
gone, gone,
C D
he ducked back down the alley
G D C D
with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl,
G D
all along, along
C D
there were incidents and accidents,
there were hints and allegations.
[Chorus]
G D
If youll be my bodyguard
C D G D C D
I can be your long lost pal,
G D
I can call you Betty,
C D
and Betty when you call me
G D C D
you can call me Al.
G D C D
call me Al.
[Verse]
G D
A man walks down the street,
C D
its a street in a strange world,
G D
maybe its the Third World,
C D
maybe its his first time around,
G D
he doesnt speak the language,
C D
he holds no currency,
G D
he is a foreign man,
C D
he is surrounded by
G D
the sound, the sound,
C D
cattle in the marketplace,
G D C D
scatterlings and orphanages,
G D
he looks around, around,
C D
he sees angels in the architecture,
G D
spinning in infinity,
C D
he says Amen and Hallelujah!
[Chorus]
G D
If youll be my bodyguard
C D G D C D
I can be your long lost pal,
G D
I can call you Betty,
C D
and Betty when you call me
G D C D
you can call me Al.
