[Verse 1]
       A                              E
I have appointed me the captain of my destiny
                                      A
And proclaimed myself the pilot of my soul
       D                             A
But my mind remains uneasy cause the rest of me
  E                             A
Depends on someone I don't even know

[Chorus]
        D                                                        A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today
     E                                                            A
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks him off or bums him out in any way
     D                                                                  A
Lord help him keep his cool cause he could pull the final curtain on my play
        E                             D             E            A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today

I can recall when only God could start the world anew
                                     A
He who left his babies wasted on the shore
             D                                  A
But now that man could have the last word if he wanted to
E                            A
God ain't such a bad dude anymore

[Chorus]
        D                                                          A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely night tonight
          E                                                               A
Hope he's got himself a honey who knows what to do and I hope she does it right
          D                                                       A
And in my heart I know that he won't go bananas -- then again, he might
        E                             D             E              A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely night tonight

[Chorus]
        D                                                        A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today
     E                                                            A
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks him off or bums him out in any way
     D                                                                  A
Lord help him keep his cool cause he could pull the final curtain on my play
        E                             D             E            A
May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today

Send him over anything he wants give him a sixpack of beer
         E                           D   E                      A  E  A
Give him my old lady, my girl friend - relieve that tension ...
