E   A   C#m   A   B

[Verse 1]
               E            C#m
I saw the Dalai Lama at the Hollywood Bowl
A                                B
talking to the people with their beepers and their cell phones
E                 C#m
Wilt Chamberlain, he’s all gone
    A                  B
Shaquille O’Neal keeps tweetin on -

[Chorus]
E                            C#m
Gimme my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fuckin racket
A                    B
Can’t keep it on the court no more
E                           C#m
Gimme my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fuckin racquet
A               B       E
Something I can hold on to

C#m   A   B

[Verse 2]
E                 C#m
Livin day by day, livin hand to mouth
A                B
Try goin’ north, keep on headin south
E                              C#m
Maybe If I had a pension plan, maybe if I had a wife
A                       B
Maybe if I’d ever had a plan in my life


[Chorus]
E                            C#m
Gimme my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fuckin racket
A                      B
I can’t keep it on the court no more
E                            C#m
Gimme my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fuckin racket
A               B       E
Something I can hold on to

C#m   A   B

[Bridge]
A
This one is too light
Am
This one is too tight
C#m                   A
This one I can hardly even feel
                     B
I don’t believe it’s real


[Verse 3]
       E                         C#m
Well I saw the Dalai Lama at the Hollywood Bowl
A                              B
Goldie Hawn was there and some people from some soap opera
E                        C#m
I wanted to ask him, how do you get along
         A                       B
When the rest of the world ain’t singing your song


[Final chorus]
E                            C#m
Gimme my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fucking racket
A                      B
I can’t keep it on the court no more
E                               C#m
Gimme me my goddamn Jack Kramer wood fucking racket
A                   B    E
Something I can hold on to
