A Amaj9 Asus4 A Asus2 A
A Amaj9 D A
I live near Hollywood out in the Canyon
D A Asus4 E
It's a good life if you're winnin' it's a killer if you're not
A Amaj9 D A
My wife up and left last night, couldn't stand another fight
D A Asus4 E
The studio boss fired me, my future's been shot by
Chorus:
A D E
The Three Martini Lunch
D A Asus4 E
Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch
A D E D A
The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon
Asus4 E A (riff)
Punching a hole in my life
A Amaj9 D A
I came from the backwoods my prospects seemed real good
D A Asus4 E
For actor or director the future looked bright
A Amaj9 D A
But I ran in with a bad crowd and since then it's just been down
D A Asus4 E
Alone in the Canyon my only companion
Chorus
A Amaj9 D A
I know what they're saying yeah I'll never get back again
D A Asus4 E
I pushed my luck this time and I'm on the skids
A Amaj9 D A
But I know what I'm doing I just can't stop doing it
D A Asus4 E
Me and my companion, hell bent to ruin it
Chorus
