(intro 4x) Bb  Eb  Bb  Eb F 

G          D           Bb          F 
Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good 
                      C           Cm          Bb 
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes 
G           D            Bb          F 
The sun was shining so I head for the park 
                     C        Cm           Bb 
With a bottle of tequila and a new pack of cigarrettes 

I got a cousin, and sge got a friend 
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help 
At his apartment, I knock on the door 
He wouldn't come out until he got paid 

(pre-chorus) 
    Bb    Eb       Bb    Eb   Bb    Eb 
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do 
    Bb    Eb   Bb  Eb                   Eb            Bb      Eb 
If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through 

Bb      Eb    Bb Eb   F  Bb     Eb   Bb  Eb  F 
Cos it's no fun being an illegal alien     (2x or however many you feel like)


Down at the office had to fill out the forms 
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose 
Up to the counter to see what they think, they said, 
"It doesn't count, man, it aint written in ink" 

I don't trust anybody, least not around here 
(Chorus) 

Lead in to bridge (the keyboard solo) 
Bb (2 bars)  Ab(2 bars) 
           An illegal alien, OK 
Bridge (background chords)  whole phrase (2x) 
G (no 3rd)  2 bars   G (no 3) C  2 bars  G (no 3)  Eb 1 bar 
G (no 3) D  G(no 3) F  half bar each 

D             G 
Consideration for your fellow man 
          C             D7sus4 
Would not hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan 
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand 

( Bm  Em  D  A )  (2x)
