         You surely are    a truly gifted kid

                        B9/A                             C#m7addA           
But you're only good as      the last great thing you did

                              Bm7                             Amaj7

If it's uphill all the way      you should be used to it by now


                 Bm7                      Amaj7
You must know me,    Father it's your son

                              B9/A                         C#m7addA

                               Bm7                            Amaj7
But it's the wonders I perform,    Pulling rabbits out of hats

                          B9/A                      Dmaj9
When sometimes I'd prefer       Simply to wear them


        Amaj7             Dmaj9               Amaj7          C#m7
If it's uphill all the way      you should be used to it and say

           F#aug                 Bm7sus4              C#aug
My back is       broad enough sir 	 to take the strain  - and it's


Dmaj7         E                    F#m                  Bm7
Hello mother, it's your son  - and aren't you proud, of all I've done

But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free, 

    F#m                Bm7
And I can't breakdance on your knee


          Amaj7                 C#m7     
But it's "stay right there son, baby do"

      B7/A             Bm7
While I is itchin' for something new

   Amaj7                C#m7
So watch me hawkeye     understand 

    B7/A               Bm7
The force of will, the sleight of hand


           Amaj7      B7/A
Movin' the ri     -   ver,

    Bm7                  D/E
I'm turkey hungry,   I'm chicken free

           Amaj7      B7/A
Movin' the ri     -   ver,

And do you think that they'll like me when they learn what I do?

Bm7        Amaj7            Aaug      C#m7
Movin' the ri     -   ver,  Money for jam, 

       C#7b5b9       F#m       F#aug        Dmaj7  C#m7   F#m
And it takes such an effort to stay where I am
