[Verse]
Eb7 Bb7                        
■   ■   If I were a human being
         Eb                      
I'd head straight for New Orleans
        Eb                              
And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong
     Eb                      
Like no one they've ever seen
       Eb                      
You've heard of Louis Armstrong
   Ab     Eb    
Mr Sidney Bechet
                     Eb        
All those boys gonna step aside
                        C7           C      G7
When they hear this old exgator play listen ■ 
C Eb            
■ When I'm human
             Eb
As I hope to be
    Eb                  
I'm gonna blow this horn
     F7                
'til the cows come home
                         Bb7     F7
And everyone's gonna bow down to me
          G7       
Thank you thank you
     G7               
Mwah mwah aw thank you
                    Cm7
I love you too baby ■  
C7 F7                   
■  When I'm myself again
       C7       F7        
I want just the life I had
Eb                           
A great big party every night
                   F7     
That doesn't sound too bad
  F7                    
A redhead on my left arm
  C7                  
A brunette on my right


[Chorus]
Eb                                 
A blonde or two to hold the candles
               F7              
Now that seems just about right
         Eb
Eh Louis ■ 
Eb           
Life is short
     Eb7                    
When you're done you're done
Ab                 
We're on this earth
   Ab           
To have some fun
                          F7    
And that's the way things ■  are
Eb            
When I'm human
              Cm7
And I'm gonna be 
                          Eb    C7     Cm7
I'm gonna tear it up like I did before ■  
F7                   Bb7      
And that's the royal guarantee


[Verse]
G7 Am7 G7 C7   C                  
■  ■   ■  Your modesty becomes you
         C                      
And your sense of responsibility
            C7       F                  
I've worked hard for everything I've got
    C                               G 
And that's the way it's supposed to be
C                     
When I'm a human being
              F        C    
At least I'll act like ■ one
   C7                    C         F  
If you do your best each and every day
C                       G7           
Good things are sure to come your way
C                C7          
What you give is what you get
F                 
My daddy said that
         F           
And I'll never forget
C                     D7 G7 
And I'll recommend it to you


[Chorus]
C               
When we're human
                C 
And we're gonna be
          C           
I'm gonna blow my horn
          F7            C   
I'm gonna live the high life
          F         
I'm gonna do my best
        C           E7  A7 
To take my place in the sun
D7              
When we're human
G7 C7 G7 C
