 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
      A                       D
 `Cos I can play the part so well.
 
 
 Verse:
 We`ll make a film about a man that`s sad and lonely
 And begging down upon his bended knee

 Cos all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
