Key: FF

Verse:

FF   F/E       Cm/Eb     D7D7         G minorGm
It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
    Gm7Gm7       C/EC/E      C majorC         FF
But her mummy is yelling no and her daddy as told her to go
     F/E          Cm/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
    D7D7            G minorGm
now she walks through her sunken dream
    Gm7Gm7           C/EC/E
To the seat with the clearest view
     C majorC          AbAb
and she's hooked to the silver screen
    Am(maj7)        F minorFm
But the film is a saddening bore
     Ab7Ab7          C#C#
For she's lived it ten times or more
     F7F7         A#mA#m      C#C#
She could spit in the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on

Chorus:

A#A#    D#D#           G minorGm
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
    Gm(maj7)       FF  F minorFm         Cm7Cm7
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,  it's a freakest show
D#m7D#m7        A#A#   D#D#           G minorGm
Take a look at the lawman, beating up the wrong guy
    Gm(maj7)         FF  F minorFm            Cm7Cm7
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know   he's in the best selling show
D#m7D#m7       G minorGm Gm(maj7) Gm7Gm7 C7C7 FF D7D7 G minorGm F7(dim) A minorAm C7C7 D#m7D#m7
Is there life on Mars?


Verse:

FF    F/E        Cm/Eb
It's on America's tortured brow
     D7D7        G minorGm
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
    Gm7Gm7           C/EC/E
Now the workers have struck for fame
C majorC              FF
Cause Lennon's on sale again
F/E                Cm/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
     D7D7         G minorGm
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
    Gm7Gm7         C/EC/E
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
C majorC              AbAb
To my mother, my dog and clowns
    Am(maj7)        F minorFm
But the film is a saddening bore
      Ab7Ab7         C#C#
'Cause I wrote it ten times before
      F7F7         A#mA#m
It's about to be writ again
   C#C#
As I ask you to focus on


Chorus:

A#A#    D#D#           G minorGm
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
    Gm(maj7)       FF  F minorFm         Cm7Cm7
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,  it's a freakest show
D#m7D#m7        A#A#   D#D#           G minorGm
Take a look at the lawman, beating up the wrong guy
    Gm(maj7)         FF  F minorFm            Cm7Cm7
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know  he's in the best selling show
D#m7D#m7       G minorGm Gm(maj7) Gm7Gm7 C7C7 FF D7D7 G minorGm F7(dim) A minorAm C7C7 D#m7D#m7
