This transcription transposes the song up to the key of G and therefore cannot be played along with the original recording. PICKING PATTERN: For the verse, pick with the following pattern - the bass note and first and second strings all simultaneously, then the third string. For the chorus, strum. [Verse 1]

I^Gt's a g^G/F#od-awful small a^Dm/Fffair to the g^E7irl with the mousy h^Amair But her m^Am/Gummy is yelling "N^D/F#o" and her daddy has told her to g^Go But her fr^G/F#iend is nowhere to be ^Dm/Fseen now she ^E7walks through her sunken ^Amdream To the s^Am/Geat with the clearest ^D/F#view and she's hooked to the silver s^Bbcreen But the fi^Bb+lm is a saddening b^Gmore For she's li^G#ved it ten times or m^Ebore She could s^G7pit in the eyes of fo^Cmols as they ^Ebask her to focus on

[Chorus]

Sa^Cilors, fig^Fhting in the dance h^Gall O^Amh man! l^Fmook at those cavemen g^Go, ^Gm it's a freakest s^Dmhow ^FmTake a look at the La^Cwman, b^Feating up the wrong g^Guy ^AmOh man! ^FmWonder if he'll ever kn^Gow^Gm he's in the best selling ^Dmshow ^FmIs there life on M^Amars? ^C+ ^Am7/G ^D/F# ^G ^E ^Am ^F# ^Bm ^C ^Cm

[Verse 2]

I^Gt's on A^G/F#merika's tortured brow ^Dm/F That Mickey ^E7Mouse has grown up a cow ^Am Now the ^Am/Gworkers have struck for fame ^D/F# Cause ^GLennon's ^G/F#on sale again ^Dm/F S^Gee the m^G/F#ice in their milli^Dm/Fon hordes From Ibi^E7za to the Norfolk Broa^Amds Rule Brit^Am/Gtania is out of bou^D/F#nds To my ^Gmother, m^G/F#y dog and clow^Dm/Fns But the ^Bb+film is a saddening bore^Gm `Cause I ^G#wrote it ten times or more ^Eb It's a^G7bout to be writ again^Cm As I ^Ebask you to focus on
