Intro: A  G (4 times)

Verse One:
G                                    A-G
Couple of guys sittin around drinkin
G                         A-G
Down at the Starlight Bar
G                              A-G
One of em says you I've been thinking
G                E
Other one says, that won't get you too far
G                                       A-G
He says, this is your life and welcome to it
G                                       A-G
It's just workin and drinkin and dreamin
G                    A-G
Ad on TV says "just do it"
G
Hell if I know what that means

Chorus One:
      D
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
      Bm
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
      G
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
     A
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall

Verse Two: (chords the same as Verse One)
You and me we're just a couple a zeros
Just a couple of down and outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What do they have to be unhappy about
So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think
What's the key that unlocks that door"
Sam don't say nothin just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more


Chorus Two: (chords in all four choruses are the same)
Cause the secret of life is Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is Monday night football
Rolling stones records and mom's apple pies

Instrumental:  D  Bm  G  A

G                                A-G
Sam looks up from the Sunday paper
G                                  A-G
Says, boys you're on the wrong track
G                                        A-G
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
G
And you don't get your money back

Chorus Three:
The secret of life is gettin up early
The secret of life is stayin up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait, don't wait

Chorus Four:
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothing at all

  D and then:
                   Bm
Oh it's nothing at all
      G            A
The secret of life

G                                   A-G
Couple of guys sittin around drinkin
G                         A-G
Down at the Starlight Bar
G                               A-G
One of em says you I've been thinking
                 E
Other one says, that won't get you too far
E7
That won't get you too far
