Intro:
A / Dbm / Gbm / Gmaj7
D
Verse:
A Dbm
On nights like this
Gbm7 Gmaj7 D
When the world's a bit amiss
E
And the lights go down
A E E7
Across the trailer park
A
I get down
Dbm
I feel had
Gbm7 Gmaj7 D
I feel on the verge of going mad
E A
And then it's time to punch the clock
Chorus:
A E
I put on some make-up
Gbm Dbm
And turn up the tape deck
D A E Gbm7
And pull the wig down on my head
Bm E
Suddenly I'm miss Midwest
A Dbm Gmaj7
midnight checkout queen
A D
Until I head home
E A G D
And put myself to bed
Verse:
A Dbm
I look back on where I'm from
Gbm7 G D
Look at the woman I've become
E
And the strangest things
A E
Seem suddenly routine
A Dbm
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
Gbm G D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
E A
Of towering velveteen
Chorus:
A E
I put on some make-up
Gbm Dbm
And some Lavern baker
D A E Gb7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A Dbm Gmaj7
Suddenly I'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A D
Until I wake up
E A G D
And turn back to myself
Verse:
A Dbm
Some girls they got a natural ease
Gbm Gmaj7 D
They wear it any way they please
E
With their French flip curls
A E
And perfumed magazines
A
Wear it up
Dbm
Let it down
Gbm Gmaj7 D
This is the best way that I've found
E A
To be the best you've ever seen
Chorus:
A E
I put on some make-up
Gbm Dbm
And turn up the eight-track
D A E Gb7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A
Suddenly I'm miss Farrah Fawcett
Dbm Gmaj7
From TV
A D
Until I wake up
E A
And turn back to myself
Bridge:
D
Shag, bi-level, bob
C
Dorothy Hamill do,
D
Sausage curls, chicken wings
C
It's all because of you
D
With your blow dried, feather back,
C
Toni home wave, too
D
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
C
It's all because of you
Bb
It's all because of you
A7 G
It's all because of you
Chorus:
A E
I put on some make-up
Gbm Dbm
turn up the eight-track
D A E Gb7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star

Of stage and screen
A D
And I ain't never

I'm never turning back
