As recorded by Jimmy Buffett (From the 1974 Album LIVING AND DYING IN 3/4 TIME) [Intro] G D G [Verse 1]
      C
Well, he outgrew his sequined suit

                   G
Sold his Trailways bus

A
Let his hair get a little too long

    D
His ducktails bit the dust
[Verse 2]
    C
His custom-made, pearl-inlaid

                        G
Guitar slipped from his hand

A
And in its place, a new electrical one

       D
He had flown in from Japan
[Chorus]
              C
'Cause he's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'

                  G
Brand new country star

A
He rides around in a Lincoln Continental

   D
No steer horns on his car

       C
Oh the record men say he's the livin' end

                                    G
They're gonna spin him right to the top

             A
Yeah, he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle

       C         D          G    D7  G
He can either go country or pop
[Verse 3]
           C
He's got a good ol' friend name o' "Texas Ben"

                           G
Tells him all the spots to play

      A
And a sweet little lady, he calls her "Sexy Sadie"

        D
She's a-with the boy night and day
[Verse 4]
              C
They're gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes

                             G
The first one in his old hometown

       A
And on ribbon-cuttin' day, they'll come from miles away

    D
The folks'll all gather 'round and sing
[Chorus]
       C
He's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'

Brand new country star

He rides around in a Lincoln Continental

No steer horns on his car

       C
Oh the record men say he's the livin' end
