Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bb]Now,[C][D][G][A]
[D]if I was a [G]bricklayer
I wouldn't build just any[D]thing
And [G]if I was a ball player
I wouldn't play no second [D]string
And [Bb]if I were some jewelry, baby
[C]Lord, I'd have to be a diamond rin[D]g[G][A]

[Verse 2]
And [D]if I were [G]a secret
Lord, I never would be [D]told
And [G]if I were a jug of wine
Lord, my flavor would [D]be old
I could [Bb]be most an[C]ything
But it got to be twenty-four
karat [D]karat solid [G]gold, [A]oh

[Verse 3]
And [D]if I were a gambler
You know I'd never [G]lose
[D]If I were a guitar[Bb] player[D]
Lord, I'd have to play
[G]the blues

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Bb][C][D]

[Verse 4]
Oh, [D]if I [G]was a hacksaw
My blade be razor [D]sharp
And [G]if I were a politician
I could prove that monkey [D]talk
You can [Bb]find the tallest building
[C]Lord, I'd have me the house on [D]top

[Verse 5]
[D]Oh, let's go

All right, keep goin'
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
I'm the [D]penthouse [G]pauper
I got nothin' to my [D]name
I'm the [G]penthouse pauper, baby
I got nothing to my [D]name
I can [Bb]be most an[C]ything
When you got nothin' [D]it's all the same

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, let's do it, do [G]it, go[D]

[Outro 1]
Lord, look at my penthouse
[G][D]
