A augmentedA / Ab/C#m / F# minorF#m / Gmaj7Gmaj7

D MajorD

A augmentedA     Ab/C#m        (play like this: -4-7-6-6-0-0-)
On nights like this
F#m7F#m7   Gmaj7Gmaj7     D MajorD
When the world's a bit amiss
    E MajorE
And the lights go down
 A augmentedA         E MajorE  E7E7
Across the trailer park
A augmentedA
I get down
Ab/C#m
I feel had
F#m7F#m7     Gmaj7Gmaj7     D MajorD
I feel on the verge of going mad
  E MajorE              A augmentedA
And then it's time to punch the clock

A augmentedA       E MajorE
I put on some make-up
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m
And turn up the tape deck
D MajorD      A augmentedA       E MajorE    F#7F#7
And pull the wig down on my head
B minorBm     E MajorE
Suddenly i'm miss midwest
A augmentedA    Ab/C#m  Gmaj7Gmaj7
midnight checkout queen
A augmentedA    D MajorD
Until i head home
  E MajorE       A augmentedA    G+G   D MajorD
And put myself to bed

A augmentedA     Ab/C#m
I look back on where i'm from
F#m7F#m7    G+G     D MajorD
Look at the woman i've become
    E MajorE
And the strangest things
  A augmentedA      E MajorE
Seem suddenly routine
A augmentedA         Ab/C#m
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
F# minorF#m      G+G        D MajorD
A augmentedA gift-wrapped wig still in the box
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
Of towering velveteen
A augmentedA       E MajorE
I put on some make-up
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m
And some lavern baker
D MajorD      A augmentedA         E MajorE   F#7F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
B minorBm      E MajorE      A augmentedA    Ab/C#m Gmaj7Gmaj7
Suddenly i'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A augmentedA    D MajorD
Until i wake up
  E MajorE      A augmentedA     G+G   D MajorD
And turn back to myself

A augmentedA           Ab/C#m
Some girls they got a natural ease
F# minorF#m     Gmaj7Gmaj7    D MajorD
They wear it any way they please
      E MajorE
With their french flip curls
  A augmentedA      E MajorE
And perfumed magazines
A augmentedA
Wear it up
Ab/C#m
Let it down
F# minorF#m     Gmaj7Gmaj7       D MajorD
This is the best way that i've found
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
To be the best you've ever seen

A augmentedA       E MajorE
I put on some make-up
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m
And turn up the eight-track
D MajorD        A augmentedA         E MajorE   F#7F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
B minorBm      E MajorE      A augmentedA
Suddenly i'm miss farrah fawcett
Ab/C#m Gmaj7Gmaj7
From tv
A augmentedA    D MajorD
Until i wake up
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
And turn back to myself

D MajorD
Shag, bi-level, bob
C majorC
Dorothy Hammil do,
D MajorD
Sausage curls, chicken wings
   C majorC
It's all because of you
     D MajorD
With your blow dried, feather back,
C majorC
Toni home wave, too
D MajorD
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
   C majorC
It's all because of you
   Bb majorBb
It's all because of you
   A7A7           G+G
It's all because of you

A augmentedA       E MajorE
I put on some make-up
F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m
turn up the eight-track
  D MajorD      A augmentedA         E MajorE    F#7F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
B minorBm     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Suddenly i'm this punk rock star
  Ab/C#m  Gmaj7Gmaj7
Of stage and screen
A augmentedA      D MajorD
And I ain't never
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
I'm never turning back
