This is a correct, easy to play version of the song. It was originally written in the key of F, but I transposed it to E. The song is written in 3/4, so I like to play it picking the root note and then the bottom strings twice to emphasize the whimsical nature of the melody. I also tried to place the chords above the right syllable, didn't have a lot of luck struggling with the formatting though. Just remember CAPO ON THE FIRST FRET INTRO: E, B7 (strum and hold this note)

Little bo^Exes on the hi^Ellside, little bo^Axes made of ti^Ecky-tacky Little ^Eboxes on the ^B7hillside, little ^Eboxes all the ^B7same There's a ^Egreen one, and a ^Epink one, and a ^Ablue one, and a ^Eyellow one And they're ^Eall made out of ^B7ticky-tacky, and they ^Eall look just^E the same

And the ^Epeople in the ^Ehouses, all ^Awent to the univ^Eersity Where ^Ethey were put in ^B7boxes, and they ^Ecame out all the ^B7same And there's ^Edoctors, and there's ^Elawyers, and ^Abusiness ex-^Eecutives And they're ^Eall made out of ^B7ticky-tacky, and they ^Eall look just th^Ee same

And they ^Eall play on the ^Egolf course, and ^Adrink their mart^Einis dry And they ^Eall have pretty ^B7children, and the ^Echildren go to ^B7school And the ^Echildren go to ^Esummer camp, and ^Athen to the univ^Eersity Where ^Ethey are put in ^B7boxes, and they ^Ecome out all the ^Esame

And the ^Eboys go into ^Ebusiness, and ^Amarry and raise a ^Efamily In ^Eboxes made of ^B7ticky-tacky, and they ^Eall look just the ^B7same There's a ^Egreen one, and a ^Epink one, and a ^Ablue one, and a ^Eyellow one And they're ^Eall made out of ^B7ticky-tacky, and they ^Eall look just the^E same
