[Chorus]
    C              Am7        F        C 
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
     C                 Am7        D7         G7
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
        C           Am7           F             C 
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
        C              Am7        G7       C
So, oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

[Verse]
    C              Am7       F     C 
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
   C           Am7         D7           G7   
"Dialing for dollars" is trying to find me,
   C           Am7        F          C 
I wait for delivery each day until three,
        C              Am7       G7    C
So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

    C              Am7        F           C     
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
       C        Am7          D7                 G7    
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
  C             Am7         F             C 
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
     C             Am7       G7           C
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town? Everybody!

[Chorus]
    C              Am7        F        C 
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
     C                 Am7        D7         G7
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
        C           Am7           F             C 
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
        C              Am7        G7       C
So, oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
