Verse:
G C
They`re gonna put me in the movies
G D
They`re gonna make a big star out of me
G C
They`ll make a film about a man that`s sad and lonely
D G
And all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
Middle:
D G
Well I bet you I`m gonna be a big star
D G
I might win an Oscar You can never tell
D G
The movies gonna make me a big star
A D
`Cos I can play the part so well.
Verse:
We`ll make a film about a man that`s sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I`ll play the part But I won`t need rehearsin`
Cos all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
