Intro:

A              F
 We'll get ya, ya ya,
G              Eb
 We'll get ya, ya ya. (I am Michael Caine).
Dsus4         D
 La la la la, la la la la.

Verse 1:

A
 He's walking where I'm afraid, I don't know,
F
 I see the firemen jumping from the windows.
E                     G             Eb     Dsus4  D
 There's panic, and I hear somebody scream.

A
 He picks up useless paper, and puts it in my pocket,
F                                        E
 I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean.
           G                           Eb
I can't re-member; tell me, what's his name?
Dsus4        D
 (My name is Michael Caine).

Chorus 1:

A          E            D              A        E7
 And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep at home.
A          E            D              A        E7
 And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.

Verse 2:

A
 The sun is laughing; it's another broken morning,
F
 I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him,
E                  G                   Eb   Dsus4  D
 He didn't seem to hear; just turned a-way.

Bridge 1:

G          A                   C                 B
 The quiet fellow follows, and points his finger straight at you.
A          G             C               B
 He had to sacrifice his pride, yes, and throw it all away...

                 (I am Micheal Caine).

A          E            D              A        E7
 And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.

Verse 3:

A
 His days are numbered; he walks round and round in circles,
F                                       E
 There is no place he can ever call his own.
            G                        Eb    Dsus4  D
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone.

A
 Staring out the window, there's nothing he can now do,
F                            E                 G              Eb
 All he wanted has to remain sane; he can't re-member his own name.
Dsus4        D
 (My name is Michael Caine).

Chorus 3:

A          E            D              A        E7

A          E            D              A        E7
 And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.

A          E            D              A      E7

A          E            D              A        E7
 And all I wanted was a word, or photo-graph to keep.
