[Verse 1]
              Esus4                 G
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
          Esus4            G
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
            Esus4                D6
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
                      C    F/C    C
And the spoon up your nose

             Esus4                            G
And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire
         Esus4              G
And your eyes too bloody to see
          Esus4                  D6
Go on and cry in your coffee but don't 
                 C      F/C     C
Come bitchin' to me

[Chorus]
                        G/F F/C   G/F    F/C
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
           G/F  F/C     G/F
You had to open up your mouth
                G   F/D   G      F/D
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
         G            F/D        C
All your friends were so knocked out
    Em7             G/F  F/C   G/F  F/C
You had to have the last word, last night
              G/F  F/C      F
You know what everything's about
                  F/C   C   F/C  C
You had to have a white hot spotlight
    G/C         G/D D    G/D  D
You had to be a big shot last night

[Verse 2]
          Esus4                   G
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
        Esus4                   G
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
        Esus4                   G
And the story of your latest success
                 C      F/C     C
Kept 'em so entertained
               Esus4                       G
Aw but now you just can't remember all the things you said
           Esus4                G
And you're not sure you want to know
              Esus4               D6
I'll give you one hint, honey you sure 
             C  F/C     C
Did put on a show

[Chorus]
                          G/F F/C   G/F    F/C
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
           G/F      F/C    G/F
You had to prove it to the crowd
                G   F/D   G      F/D
You had to be a big shot, didn't you

You're so much fun to be around
                    F/C   C     F/C  C
You had to have the front page, bold type
    G/C         G/D D    G/D  D
You had to be a big shot last night Whoa...

[Verse 3]
           Esus4                    G
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
       Esus4                     G
If you know when to leave it alone
             Esus4                      D6
But you went over the line you couldn't see 
                  C     F/C     C
It was time to go home

[Chorus]
                                        G/F F/C   G/F    F/C
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
           G/F  F/C     G/F
You had to open up your mouth
                G   F/D   G      F/D
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
         G            F/D        C
All your friends were so knocked out
