Wig In A Box Ukulele by Hedwig And The Angry Inch

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: D G B E (D G B E)

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
  Dbm  Gmaj7
Of stage and screen
A      D
And I ain't never
  E       A
I'm never turning back
