Guitar chords with lyrics

The lonely Island featuring Julian Casablancas

INTRO:  Fm Ab Bbm Cm

VERSE:
Fm                               Ab
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
Bbm                        Cm
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
Fm                 Ab
The spread is bland, sauerkraut and boiled goose
Bbm                          Cm
There's no way these people will ever cut loose


Fm                          Ab
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
Bbm                 Cm
And what happened next will blow your mind

CHORUS:
Fm                       Bbm
Everything got out of control
Eb             Ab      Abmaj7
The music was so entrancing
Fm                       Bbm
Everyone got out on the floor
Eb             Ab               Abmaj7
It was a bunch of old, white people dancing

VERSE:
Fm                Ab
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Bbm                      Cm          Eb
Spirits go down while profits expand
Fm                       Ab
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
Bbm                                Cm
The street vendors peddling their boiled goose

Fm                            Ab
So many types of people, they'll never get along
Bbm                        Cm
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song

Fm                             Bbm
The music washed away all the hate
Eb               Ab    Abmaj7
And society started advancing
Fm                   Bbm
Every demographic was represented
Eb                   Ab Abmaj7
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing

BRIDGE:
Fm Bbm       Eb                 Ab            Abmaj7
Woah, everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Fm Bbm          Eb                      Ab Abmaj7
Woah, I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman

VERSE:
Fm                  Bbm
Transport now to an old folks home
Eb                               Ab      Abmaj7
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
Fm                     Bbm
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Eb                          Ab
Every day for lunch they eat boiled goose

Fm                              Ab
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass
Bbm                  Cm          Eb
And what happened next was a total disgrace



CHORUS:
Fm                      Bbm
Everybody started having sex
Eb                   Ab Abmaj7
The music was way too powerful
Fm                         Bbm
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
Eb                       Ab Abmaj7
It was disgusting to say the least

OUTRO:
Fm                        Bbm
A boombox can change the world
Eb                      Ab Abmaj7
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
Fm                    Bbm
This was a cautionary tale
Eb                Ab Abmaj7 Fm
A boombox is not a toy


VERSE:
Fm
Now, picture if you will a bunch of businessmen

Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen

The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose

In the middle of the table, there's a boiled goose

The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink

These dudes'll never dance, yeah, that's what you think

I stride in the room all young and hip

Hold up my boombox and say, "Listen to this!"


Then everyone started to move

People rejoiced instead of financing

Your preconceived notions were shattered

By the super old, white people dancing
