    G       Am     Bm    C                        X2

<verse 1>
        G                Am
This is not a song about politics
        Bm               C
this is not a song about sex
        G                Am
If you want I'll talk about arrogance
        Bm                C
and if you're respectably dressed
        C                 D
This song is not about old James Dean
            G                     C
'cause he's mentioned in too many songs already
   D
my friend

<verse 2>
        G                Am
This is not a song about animals
        Bm               C
this is not a song about trees
        G                Am
there are times when you cannot trust no-one
        Bm                C
tell me why does this have to be
     C                 D
This song is not about rich or poor
     G                 C
it's about how we probably feel insecure
     D
my friend


<bridge> [guitar twiddle 1]
          G
This is a song
          Am 
I wrote especially for you
  Bm                       C
I want to say thankyou for having me too
          G                        Am
'cause I'm glad to be here on this earth
       Bm                         C
living out all my dreams to their worth
    Eb            G                D
and most of all I love you all and wish you well

Notes: Lots of people have their own theories as to what Paul actually sings at the end. What was originally recorded was: "OCHA SI WONE SEAMY SI INTO A LIDDLE" x 4, but he has been known to sing on the odd occasion, "HOPE YOU REALISE MY SOLITUDE A LITTLE" x 4. During a gig at London's Borderline recently, a fan got up on stage with Paul and started singing something about "HOPE YOU WILL UNTIE ME SOON AND TICKLE". Franks fans, eh? ;-)
