Big John Shaft by Belle & Sebastian
From the album Storytelling
Capo 2nd fret
Intro: C F
C F
I'll make another movie
C F
The same one as the year before
C F
Take a tired idea
C C7
Put it in the hands of Hollywood
F
I need to talk to someone
C
I've been living someone else's life
Bb F
I don't get no mail at my house anymore
(F)
My manager's my bride
(Verses 2 & 3 use the same chords)
I'm sitting on a jet plane
I'll see my baby soon enough
I won't take her to a movie
I'm worried that the lines become all blurred
I couldn't help but feel insulted
When the boss told us to act that way
I'm ashamed of my profession
I would do the same again
I'll make another movie
Same one as the year before
I'm looking for a story
Something ludicrous to come up from the street
I won't play another heavyweight
I won't play another big John Shaft
Put me in a frock and leave me to recite
Maybe my career will die
