bonus track from “Too Old to Rock'n'Roll: Too Young to Die!” (1976)
 
Capo 3
 
[Verse 1]
D         D7  Gm             A
A small cigar can change the world
                     D             D7
I know, I've done it frequently at parties
               Gm                Asus4
Where I've won all the guests' attention
A           D      D7        Gm          Asus4
With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing
A        D                D7
A little flat tin case is all you need
              Gm           Asus4
Breast-pocket conversation opener
A                D                         D7
And one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good
        Gm              Asus4  A
You can throw away when empty
     D             D7
Must be declared a great success
   Gm               Bb            D         B
My small cigars all vanish within minutes
 
[Chorus 1]
  Em                       Am Asus2
Excuse me, mine host, that I  may visit
      G              D
A nearby tobacconist
      Em                  Am    Asus2
To replenish my supply of small cigars
             G                 B
And make the party swing again
 
[Verse 2]
  D                    D7
I know my clothes seem shabby
          Gm                 Asus4
And don't fit this Hampstead soiree
      A                D                           D7
Where unread copies of Rolling Stone, well-thumbed Playboys
             Gm           Asus4          A
Decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves
   D                  D7
If you ask me they're on their way
         Gm             Asus4  A
To upper-middle-class oblivion
    D                  D7
The stupid twits, they roll their only
    Gm           Asus4     A
One cigarette between them
   D               D7
My small cigar's redundant now
       Gm              Bb
In the haze of smoking pleasure
     D                 D7
Call it a day, get the hell away
            Gm          Bb          D   B
Go down the cafe, for a cup of real tea
 
[Chorus 2]
       Em                      Am    Asus2
By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool
          G                       D
Who sells papers in the rush hour
  Em              Am    Asus2
I hand to him ten small cigars
           G                          B
He smiles, says, "Son, God bless you"
 
[Verse 3]
D         D7      C
A small cigar has changed his world, my friend
D                 C
A small cigar has changed the world again
