When We're Human

E  B

                  E
If I were a human being
I'd head straight for New Orleans
        A
And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong
Like no one they've ever seen
You've heard of Louis Armstrong?
              E
Mister Sidney Bechet?
                     A
All those boys gonna step aside
When they hear this old ex-gator play
Listen!
( C#  G# )

E
When I'm human
As I hope to be
I'm gonna blow this horn
         C#
'Til the cows come home
F#
And everyone's gonna bow down to me

F#
When I'm myself again
I want just the life I had
E
A great big party every night
C#m
That doesn't sound too bad
                     B
A redhead on my left arm
A brunette on my right
  E
A blonde or two to hold the candles
Now that seems just about right
Eh, Louis?

E
Life is short
When you're done, you're done
A                   C
We're on this earth to have some fun
B
And that's the way things are

E        B
When I'm human
And I'm gonna be
                     C#m
I'm gonna tear it up like I did before
G#m                  B
And that's the royal guarantee

A
Your modesty becomes you
         C#
And your sense of responsibility
                          F#
I've worked hard for everything I've got
And that's the way it's supposed to be
     C#
When I'm a human being
At least I'll act like one
If you do your best each and every day
Good things are sure to come your way

C#
What you give is what you get
A#m                A
My daddy said that and I'll never forget
C#
And I commend it to you
C#
When we're human
And we're gonna be
F#                     F
I'm gonna blow my horn
F#                      C#
I'm gonna live the high life
F#                                       A#
I'm gonna do my best to take my place in the sun
C#  F#  G#    Fm
