Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bb majorBb
The wonderful dexterity of Hannu Mikkula
Bb majorBb
Makes me want to shake hands with the whole of Finland
Bb majorBb
But the horrible sincerity of Miriam Stoppard
Bb majorBb
Makes me want to go out and commit mass murder.


[Chorus]

 A minorAm          DmDm   A minorAm
I rang Jane Scott for a genuine friend,
                DmDm        A minorAm
She was otherwise engaged so I looked round the bend
               DmDm     A minorAm
I saw the wheels of nihilism rolling my way
                   DmDm A minorAm
And now I live life in the bus lane
                 DmDm A minorAm
Yeah, I live life in the bus lane.

[Verse 2]

Bb majorBb
The halcyonic dynamo that lit up my childhood
Bb majorBb
Made me feel secure on the roads in winter
Bb majorBb
But the nauseating bashfulness of early Diana
Bb majorBb
Made me want to set fire to commemorative tea towels.


[Chorus 2]

 A minorAm              DmDm     A minorAm
I walked across the road with a peach in my hand
              DmDm      A minorAm
A augmentedA hammer hit my head and I couldn't understand
             DmDm     A minorAm
Behind me stood a maniac laughing at me saying
              DmDm A minorAm
“I like to watch the adverts
               DmDm A minorAm
Yeah, I saw it in the adverts.

[Interlude]

       C majorC     FF    G+G       DmDm
You fold your grandma’s neck and smother her in custard
   C majorC      FF    C majorC
As a contribution to your folio
         FF      G+G       DmDm
And the very next morning you take her into college
    C majorC       FF       C majorC
And the tutor with the beard and the polio
             FF        G+G        DmDm
Says “Well yeah it’s got potential and it could well be essential
    C majorC         FF      C majorC         Bb majorBb
But it should be more dramatic if you know what I mean”.


[Coda]

     F minorFm     A minorAm                 D MajorD
Have you tuned in to Radio Dada, every Friday evening at six in the morning?
Bb majorBb    F minorFm      A minorAm                 D MajorD    Bb majorBb
Scan the airwaves for Radio Dada – it goes something like this…..
