[Verse 1]
     G 
Well used to be heavy but now I'm thin
C7
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
G                                      D7     
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
   G 
My feet are still long and my hair is too
          C7
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
G              D7        G 
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 2]
       G 
Well I couldn't play ball 'cause I couldn't run fast
C7                                   
Never got a date 'cause I never got asked
G                                     D7 
Couldn't jump high or walk around too long
G                    
Couldn't talk too much about the women I had
C7               
Friends talked about them made me feel real bad
G            D7        G 
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 3]
          G 
Well, the girls would tell me that my eyes was blue
C7                
Sometimes I told 'em that theirs was too
G                                       D7 
Said I was funny and sweeter than mama's pie
   G 
For many long years I hardly ever got laid
C7                      
Now I know dammit that my dues have been paid
G            D7          G 
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 4]
       G              
Well I used to go drinking and look for my bride
C7        
Walk into parties and the girls would hide
G                                    D7
They didn't want no fat boys in they rooms
     G 
They always used to tell me we could be good friends
        C7                 
You can sleep on the pallet when the party ends
G            D7          G 
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 5]
      G 
Now I got a little woman that I kiss each day
     C7      
She likes my looks and some of my ways
G                          D7
Glad I'm not a fat boy any more
    G 
Her hair's real curly and her eyes real brown
    C7
She rubs my belly when I'm laying down
G            D7          G 
I won't be a fat boy any more

[Verse 6]
        G 
Yeah, I used to be heavy but now I'm thin
C7
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
G                                      D7  
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
   G 
My feet are still long and my hair is too
          C7
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
G            D7          G 
I won't be a fat boy any more
G            D7          G 
I won't be a fat boy any more
