    [Intro]
    G C D G C G 4x

    [Verse]
    G D
    A man walks down the street,
    C D
    he says why am I soft in the middle now,
    G D
    why am I soft in the middle,
    C D
    the rest of my life is so hard,
    G D
    I need a photo-opportunity,
    C D
    I want a shot at redemption,
    G D
    dont want to end up a cartoon,
    C D
    in a cartoon graveyard,
    G D
    bonedigger, bonedigger,
    C D
    dogs in the moonlight,
    G D C D
    far away my well-lit door,
    G D
    Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
    C D
    get these mutts away from me,
    G D C D
    you know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.

    [Chorus]
    G D
    If youll be my bodyguard
    C D G D C D
    I can be your long lost pal,
    G D
    I can call you Betty,
    C D
    and Betty when you call me
    G D C D
    you can call me Al.

    [Verse]
    G D
    A man walks down the street,
    C D
    he says why am I short of attention,
    G D
    got a short little span of attention,
    C D
    and wo my nights are so long,
    G D
    wheres my wife and family,
    C D
    what if I die here,
    G D
    wholl be my role-model,
    C D
    now that my role-model is
    G D
    gone, gone,
    C D
    he ducked back down the alley
    G D C D
    with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl,
    G D
    all along, along
    C D
    there were incidents and accidents,
    G D C D
    there were hints and allegations.

    [Chorus]
    G D
    If youll be my bodyguard
    C D G D C D
    I can be your long lost pal,
    G D
    I can call you Betty,
    C D
    and Betty when you call me
    G D C D
    you can call me Al.
    G D C D
    call me Al.

    [Solo]
    G C D G C G 8x

    [Verse]
    G D
    A man walks down the street,
    C D
    its a street in a strange world,
    G D
    maybe its the Third World,
    C D
    maybe its his first time around,
    G D
    he doesnt speak the language,
    C D
    he holds no currency,
    G D
    he is a foreign man,
    C D
    he is surrounded by
    G D
    the sound, the sound,
    C D
    cattle in the marketplace,
    G D C D
    scatterlings and orphanages,
    G D
    he looks around, around,

    C D
    he sees angels in the architecture,
    G D
    spinning in infinity,
    C D
    he says Amen and Hallelujah!

    [Chorus]
    G D
    If youll be my bodyguard
    C D G D C D
    I can be your long lost pal,
    G D
    I can call you Betty,
    C D
    and Betty when you call me
    G D C D
    you can call me Al.
