To Be No. 1 – Scorpions Song Chord/Tab and Lyric

1. Intro: Guitar one plays a rhythm tune on A5

2. Verse One, Guitar One Continues Playing the same tune
with some variations. ( this sign with a number over
the lyrics means variations)

Give me a job
The one I havn't got
Don't write me off at anytime
A5 1
Don't ever leave me unsatisfied
I don't wanna come in a second
I just wanna come
Don't wanna be the last in line
A5 1
Don't wanna be just left behind

3. Bridge:
Both Guitars plays those chords with powerful overdrive

And in the evening when I come home
It is time to throw my dog a bone
That's when I wear my shirt that says
In capital letters In capital letters

4. Chorus:

Isn't it fun fun fun …He's got no job, got no blow
To be number one …Got no Monica to go to
Isn't it fun fun fun …He's a superstar, wunderbar
To be number one …Out of touch too much

5. Verse Two:

Don't tell me I'm small
An inch too short
I might not be your size but I'm sure great
A5 2
And definitely under paid
So give me a job
A5 3
The one I haven't got
Don't tell me I'm to poor to join the club
A5 4
To hang out with the big shots

6. Bridge:

And in the evening when I come home
It is time to throw my dog a bone
That's when I wear my shirt that says
In capital letters In capital letters

7. Chorus:

Isn't it fun fun fun …He's got no job, got no blow
To be number one …Got no Monica to go to
Isn't it fun fun fun …He's a V.I.P. wannabe
To be number one …All he ever wants is
Isn't it fun fun fun
A5 5
To be number one
Isn't it fun fun fun …He's a V.I.P. wannabe
To be number one …All he ever wants is
To be number one

8. Solo Break: The Lead Guitars Uses in this solo a Phase effect
and a Wah-Wah effect mixed together

9. Bridge:

And in the evening when I come home
It is time to throw my dog a bone
That's when I wear my shirt that says
In capital letters In capital letters

10. Chorus:

Isn't it fun fun fun …He's got no job, got no blow
To be number one …Got no Monica to go to
Isn't it fun fun fun …He's a superstar, wunderbar
To be number one …Out of touch too much
Isn't it fun fun fun …He's got no job, got no blow
To be number one …Got no Monica to go to
Isn't it fun fun fun
To be number one…
