C                    G7

Cause my teeth are pearly

        C                G7

Just because my hair is curly

 E7                    Am               

Just because I always wear a smile

              D7                      G7                  

Like to dress up in the latest style  

C                     G7                   E7               Am

Cause I'm glad I'm living, take my troubles all with a smile

F                  C             A7  

Just because my colours shady, different maybe

D7               G7      C

Thats why they call me shine.
