Burton Cummings - Charlemagne

      [Intro]
G7 D7 C7 x2

[Verse 1]
G7
She got a red dress
G7
Kickin' up pretty heels
G7
She's playing the money games
G7
Givin' us men a thrill
C7
Spendin' nights in Sin City
C7
Wearin' all the upper class women down

[Chorus]
    D7                   C7
She cannot or she could not
                   G7
Change her name to Jezebel
      D7
Well, never once did she try
C7                                          G7
No, no, no, she couldn't change her name to Jezebel

[Verse 2]
G7
I got an army then I gave them spears
G7
But then I seize the power
G7
And I went around for a hundred years
               C7
I was doin' alright
C7                            G7
Takin' what I need and what I wanted to

[Chorus]
  D7                   C7
I did not and I could not
                  G7
Change my name to Charlemagne
      D7
Well, never once did I try
    C7                                       G7
But no, no, no, I couldn't change my name to Charlemagne

G7
Sailin' up past Jupiter, Venus in my skies
G7
Well, then I'm headin' back for the water
G7
It's comin' as no surprise 
                  C7
And am I doing alright
                         G7
They even gonna check my fingerprints

[Chorus]
      D7                         C7
But I was not and I never could be
                     G7
Never couldn't be no astronaut
    D7
But never once did I try
C7                               G7
No, no, no, no, I'll never be no astronaut

[Chorus]
