CHORUS:
1 * * * * * 57 *
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, .. when you're perfect in every way
* * * * * * * *
I can't wait to look in the mirror, .... 'cause I get better lookin' each day
1 * * * 17 * 4 *
To know me is to love me ___, I must be a hell of a man
* * 1 * 57 * 1 *
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, .. but I'm doing the best that I can
1 4 1 * * * 57 *
I used to have a girlfriend, .. but I guess she just couldn't com-pete
* * * * * * 1 *
With all of these love-starved women, .. who keep clamoring at my feet
* * * * 17 * 4 *
Well I prob'ly could find me a-nother .. but I guess they're all in awe of me
* * 1 * 57 * 1 57
Who cares, I never get lonesome, .. 'cause I treasure my own compan-y, Oh
1 4 1 * * * 57 *
I guess you could say I'm a loner, .. a cowboy out-law, tough and proud
* * *
Oh, I could have lots of friends if I want-a /
* * * 1 *
/ .. but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
* * *
Some folks say that I'm ego-tistical /
* 17 * 4 *
/ .. Hell, I don't even know what that means
* * 1
I guess it has somethin' to do with the way /
* 57 * 1 57
/ .. that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans, Oh

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MAC DAVIS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
