Intro
A Asus A Asus A G D A
A Asus A Asus A G F# F
It wasD just like a dream, yeah, a Gsurreal scene, like a bDlue orange
I thought my senses had gone, like I was writing a song about a foot-long syringe
AAnd she said, G"Hello, Ddear, it's my party
"So I hope you'll be smart, hee hee And I
said,"I don't know, but I think I'll go fix me
A(Intro riff")
a stiff drink"
Well, I Dsat there and stared, because atG first I was scared of this female tarzan
And while she talked with the apes about champagne and grapes, I approached her garden
And shAe said,"Now, Gnow, don't trDy to leave me,
"It's unfair to deceive me
"I could kill if you try to escape me,
A (intro riff)
come upstairs my friend"
NoEminw I knew,Bmin I knewF, I couldn't be Athat mean,
Emin Bmin F G A A sus
so I tried, yeah I really tried to leave her but she was a big, big, big girl, big girl

"This is true I Ewas a teaser"
B B(b5) (see below)
There were a thousand manitas
being exchanged for pesetas

49TH PARALLEL
EThink I'll have lines on my face
When I get out of this plFmin7ace
So I gueDss I'll be ever so careBful
It wouldn't heElp to deny
I'm weFmin7ll advised to comDply
By the rules or be ever so teaBrful
B7I caught a vulture, he came up behind me
I put a chain on his claws
I caught another, been trying to find me
I slit a vein in his jaws
ATied the two of them up with guitar-strings (Bonly fed them a bone)
AGrinned and put my hands in my pockets
AminTo drift away to a land of my oEwn B

THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
CEuroC/Bpean MaAminids, haGrd to iFgnore C
You, me and the boys, barred from the shore
FFresh-faced imbeciles, lCaughing at me
I've been laughing myself, is that so hard to see'
Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly!
If there's nFo room for laughter there's nCo room for me
DminFor me.... G
FYou'll think it's Emintragic when that Dminmoment arrCives
Ah, but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives
