Back a few months ago I was headlining in this great big night club, and they put me up in what they call
the star suite. Now hear I am staring in one of the biggest night clubs in the country, and I wake up at eight o clock in
the morning in the star suite all by myself and I did what I've always done. I picked up my guitar and wrote me a little song.
Key
of G Major
[G]Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every [D7]way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cause I get better looking each [G]day
To know me is to love me I [G7]must be a hell of a [C]man
Oh Lord it's hard to be [G]humble
But I'm [D7]doing the best that I [G]can
I [G]used to have a girlfriend but I guess she just couldn't [D7]compete
With all of these love-starved women who keep clamoring at my [G]feet
Well I probably could find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of [C]me
Who cares I never get [G]lonesome cause I [D7]treasure my own com[G]pany
Repeat CHORUS
I [G]guess you could say I'm a loner a cowboy outlaw tough and [D7]proud
Oh I could have lots of friends
if I wanna
But them I wouldn't stand out in a [G]crowd
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell I don't even know what that [C]means
I guess it has something to do with the way
That I [D7]fill out my skin-tight blue [G]jeans
Repeat Chorus
We're [D7]doing the best that I[G] can
Key Of C
