IntroGBm/F#Fdim7E7AmG#augCDVerse 1GBm/FFdim7
It's a god-awful small affair
E7
To the girl with the mousy hair
AmG#augC
But her mummy is yelling "No"
D
And her daddy has told her to go
GBm/FFdim7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
E7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
AmG#augC
To the seat with the clearest view
D
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Pre-ChorusDaugDGm
But the film is a saddening bore
G#
For she's lived it ten times or more
D#GCm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
C#
As they ask her to focus on
ChorusCF
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Am7G#augG
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
GmDm7
It's the freakiest show
Fm7C
Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
GmDm7
He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?
Verse 2GBm/FFdim7
It's on America's tortured brow
E7
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
AmG#augC
Now the workers have struck for fame
D
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
GBm/FFdim7
See the mice in their million hordes
E7
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
AmG#augC
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
D
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Pre-ChorusDaugDGm
But the film is a saddening bore
G#
For I've writ it ten times or more
D#GCm
It's about to be writ again
C#
As I ask you to focus on
