  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

  The movies gonna make me a big star

  'Cos I can play the part so well.

  We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely

  Cos all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
