It was almost like a song...

Today I am feeling very melancholy.  Even so, I almost always have a song in my head. Usually an old hymn. Sometimes a current praise song. Today? Oh boy! Ironically, I feel like doo-doo, but the song that keeps coming to me is making me giggle, just for it's utter and complete "wrongness" in this situation...

It's Hard to Be HumbleBy Mac Davis               [3/4 time]

C                                                           G7
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way
                             
I can't wait to look in the mirror 
                                C
Cause I get better looking each day
                           C7                  F
To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man
                        C
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
        G7                    C
But I'm doing the best that I can
 
                                                          G7
I used to have a girlfriend but I guess she just couldn't compete
                                                              C
With all of these love-starved women who keep clamoring at my feet
                           
Well I probably could find me another 
                                  F
But I guess they're all in awe of me
                      C                G7                  C
Who cares I never get lonesome cause I treasure my own company
 
Repeat #1
                                                            G7
I guess you could say I'm a loner a cowboy outlaw tough and proud
 
Oh I could have lots of friends if I wanna 
                                   C
But them I wouldn't stand out in a crowd
 
Some folks say that I'm egotistical 
                                 F
Hell I don't even know what that means
                            C
I guess it has something to do with the way 
       G7                          C
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans
 
Repeat #1
