G A# F5 G
I was sitting there in a comfortable chair and that was all that I needed,
G A# F5 G
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share and that was all that I needed,
A# C5 A#
Then I felt at ease,
D5 C5 D5
But then I’m not too hard to please,
F5* F#5* G
I guess you couldn’t call me greedy,
G A# F5 G
Then I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there in a place so seedy,
G A# F5 G
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair and that was all that I needed,
A# C5 A#
Then I said to my friend,
D5 C5 D5
‘Good God, we’re lucky men,
F5* F#5* G
Just to even see her’

Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
G A# F5 G
I could not resist, I just had to get close to her and that was all that I needed,
G A# F5 G
I walked and loomed around her table for a while and that was all that I needed,
A# C5 A#
Then I said, ‘I hate to bug you ma’am,
D5 C5 D5
But can I have your autograph?’
F5* F#5* G
And that was all that I needed
G A# F5 G
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper and that was all that I needed,
G A# F5 G
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth and that was all that I needed,
A# C5 A#
Then she handed it to me,
D5 C5 D5
And I think that she could see,
F5* F#5* G
That, that was all that I needed,
G A# F5 G
I started to walk away but then I remembered Hey, I forgot to get a picture,
G A# F5 G
So I asked her one more time, ‘Could I have another favour?’ That was I all that I needed.
A# C5 A#
She was kind and posed with me,
D5 C5 D5
Then I knew my friends would see,
F5* F#5* G
My celeb - rity meeting,

Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
Take, take, take,
G A# F5 G
And she said to me, ‘I need to go to sleep’ and it seemed so mean,
G A# F5 G
It’s almost as if she did not appreciate how cool I was being,
A# C5 A#
She said, ‘Good night’ and walked away,
D5 C5 D5
And I didn’t know what to say.
F5* F#5* G
I just could - n’t believe it.
G A# F G
Well, it’s just not fair, I want to get a piece of hair and that was all that I needed
G A# F G
Well maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn’t wash it for a week. That was all that I needed
A# C5 A#
Well she didn’t even care,
D5 C5 D5
That I was even there,
F5* F#5* G
What a hor - rible feeling.
