[Verse 1]
E           D             A
A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
E              D          A
With a smile on his face
E                    D
The school kids would give me some gin
  A
If I would let them in
B                          C#m
They were shaking all over

[Verse 2]
E         D                    A
Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
E            D             A
Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
E       D               A
Can't remember where I'd been
B                     C#m
I was aching all over
                       A
From rolling on the stone
                          B
I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone

[Chorus]
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
C          F                                G             Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
C          F                                G             Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy

[Verse 3]
E      D            A
Kissin' cousins just ain't my style
E            D                 A
Not like some knight in shining armor
E                    D                 A
Went touring with the sideshow that was my blow
B             C#m
But we hung on for the fun
A                   B
Lots of fun for everyone

[Chorus]
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
C          F                                G             Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
F
Ooh, what a night...

[Verse 4]
E              D            A
Till the danger man with his danger plan
E           D   A
He took me aside and then he took me apart
E      D              A
I was a young man with love in my heart
B                      C#m
Oh, how he made me pay
                   A                   B
It was the hard way, It was the hard way

[Chorus]
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
C          F                                G             Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
C          F                                G             Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
C          F                                G        Gsus4 G
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
