E
I‘ve never been with anything
less than a nine, so fine.
D A
I‘ve been on fire with Sally
Fields, going past with a girl named Bo,

but somehow
they just don‘t end as mine.
E - D A
It‘s a death-defined life I
live, I take my chances,
F#m D A - E
I die for a living in the
movies and TV,
E D
A
but
the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading ladies
B7 E
kiss
some other guys while I‘m bandaging my knee.
F#m D
I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand new car,
A E F#m D E A
‘cause
I‘m the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

for pay, hey hey !

it‘s only hay, hey hey.

somedays I‘ve got them as far as the eye can see, uuuh-iiih.

A morning dive with Jackie
Smith, I crash in the night with Cheryl,

but
in the end they never stay with me.
F#m D7
I might fall from a tall
building, so Burt Reynolds don‘t get hurt,
F#m D7
I might leap a mighty canyon,
so he can kiss and flirt,
F#m D7
while that smooth talker‘s
kissing my girl, I‘m just kissing dirt,
A
E F#m D E
A
yes,
I‘m the lonely stuntman that made a lover out of Burt.
