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
