[Verse]
                   F7               
Ali dances and the audience applauds
            Am7       Em7      Am7             Bbmaj7
Though he's bathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style 
C               F  C       
■ Ali don't you go downtown
              Am                B7   E    Am
You gave away another round for free whoa ■ 
G      Am           F7              
Me I'm just another face at Zanzibar
        Am              Am7             Bbmaj7 C   
But the waitress always serves a secret smile  whoa
                     F          E7
She's waiting out in Shantytown ■ 
                     Am                   G7     C 
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me ■  for me


[Chorus]
                       Cm7
I've got the old man's car
                Bb    
I've got a jazz guitar
                  Abmaj7   Gm7 Fm7
I've got a tab at Zanzibar ■   ■  
Gm7            Abmaj7     Ab7 G      
Tonight that's where I'll be  I'll be
E Am7 Em Am7

[Verse]
                          F7                
Rose he knows he's such a credit to the game
        Am7                              Bbmaj7
But the Yankees grab the headlines every time  
C F                   C  
■ Melodrama's so much fun
                   Am              Bm7 E7   Am7
In black and white for everyone to see whoa ■  
                      F7                
Me I'm trying just to get to second base
        Am          Em7 Am7           Bbmaj7 C   
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign   whoa


[Chorus]
                     F  E7   
She's gonna give the go ahead
           Am                 Bm7 G7  C 
The inning isn't over yet for me  for me
                       C  
I've got the old man's car
Cm7             Bb    
I've got a jazz guitar
Gm7               Abmaj7   Gm7 Fm7
I've got a tab at Zanzibar ■   ■  
Gm7            Abmaj7 Ab7     D7     
Tonight that's where  I'll be I'll be
