Verse 1
D 
 (D major) A friend of mine in Denver
was listening to some of my songs,
and he said that he liked them,
but that there were too
many chord changes.
A 
And  (A major) he told me that I ought to
try and write a song

And so I did, and this is it.  (A major)  (D major)  (A major) 
D 
I'm a  (D major) poor starving artist
A 
I  (A major) ain't got a dime
D 
Society kicks me around  (D major) all the time
I'm misused and mistreated
A 
and misunderstood  (A major) 
At the end of the story
D 
I'm bound to make  (D major) good
A 
Cause the world is just a B -movie  (A major)

When someone yelled out,

Put down those clippers
A 
or I'll  (A major) fracture your jaw
But it was just Sonny Bono
Em 
A 
D 
dis (E minor) guised  (A major) as the law  (D major)

D 
When  (D major) I  play my music,
A 
the people  (A major) charge me.

D 
and  (D major) live in a tree.
But the heaviest problem
A
