"TO BE A MILLIONAIRE"
 (Royston Langdon)

Recorded acoustically by Spacehog on the album "Resident Alien."

Transcribed by Todd Obermiller (Obermiller.1@nd.edu)

This appears to be in the key of F#.
I didn't place the chords exactly where the switches are, listen
to the recording for these.

Shot his mother down

With a gun that he had found

Dragged her by the hair
