SOMEBODY ELSE - NOT ME! (Text: Williams verse1+2/Ronk-verse3

1. Great (B7)moments come to (E)every man
Some (fis)situations where he can
A(gis)chieve such (Es7)fame that (gis)folks ac (Es7)claim
The (gis)very mention (gis)of his (B7)name.
A (B7)circus played our (E)town one day
Three (fis)Bengal tigers got away.
The (gis)mana(Es7)ger looked (gis)straight at(Es7) me,
Said, (gis)here's your oppor(E)tu(C7)ni(B7)ty.

Some(E)body has got to (B7)get those cats,
Some(E)body has got to (A)go
Our (fis)tiger (Cis7)man is (fis)sick in bed,
So (Fis7)put on your hat and coat,
(B7)That is what the(Bb7) man (B7)said.
(E)The man that brings them (B7)back alive,
(E7)a hero is gonna (A)be,
It's a (A/Cis)wonderful (Cdim)chance for (E7)somebo(Cis7)dy,
(Fis7)Somebody (B6)else - not(E) me! - (Fis7) - (B6) - (E).

2. Two ivory bones with ebony dots
Often lead to cemetery lots.
Again last night brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots.
I was the furtherest from the door.
The others all got out before.
Upon the floor a man lay dead.
And through the transom someone said—

Somebody's got to stay behind—
Somebody must remain—
And when the officers, when the officers arrive explain
Why this brother isn't alive. Yeah.
The man who stays and sees it through
Is gonna gain celebrity, yeah.
It's a wonderful chance, a wonderful chance for somebody –
Somebody else, not me.

3. I did a little time in world war two,
When them panzer tanks came roll on through
In the middle of a minefield beneath barb wire,
They pinned us down with machine gun fire
There were bullets flying through the air
And shrapnels shrapening everywhere
Our captain there would shout: "No fear,"
Says he, "I need a volunteer."

Somebody has got to storm that hill.
Somebody has got to go.
Just to charge up that hill where them mines are lying
And blow them to hell with a hand grenade, right.
The man, who storms that hill," he said,
"Will live in history!"
I'd rather live in Hackensack.
That's gotta be somebody else – not me!

Dave's chords are a little bit more complicated, but I think the tune can be played with these above-
