Verse 1:
Am
 Another tight, beer-can night
   F
In your basement of despair
Am
Naked ladies on the wall
  F
Because they belong there
Am
Detroit T-shirt, worn and torn
     F
With seven days of stains

Pre-Chorus:
    Dm                     F
But oh, when you lift your pen
         Am            G    Gadd11  G
For Roxy Music and the Dolls
F                          Dm
 The Village Voice, it has no choice
        C               G
It must laud your every word


Chorus:
            Dm         F     Am       G     Gadd11  G
How does it feel to be you
Lester Bangs?
            Dm    F       Am          G     Gadd11  G
How does it feel    to be you, Lester Bangs?
      Dm              F
Three thousand miles away
     Am                 G   Gadd11  G
This nerd hangs on your word
  Dm                        F
I lean, and you are leaned upon
            Am          G    Gadd11  G
When all my life was so wrong

Verse 2:
     Am
Drugs and Allen Ginsberg books
F
Every day is the same
Am
Lester wrapped in an American flag
   F
He watches the football game
     Am
Then Lester, loose on carpet
        F
Full of 4 a.m. pain


Pre-Chorus:
    Dm                     F
But oh, when you lift your pen
         Am            G    Gadd11  G
For Roxy Music and the Dolls
F                      Dm
 The Village Voice, it has no choice
          C               G
They must laud your every word

How does it feel to be you
Lester Bangs?
            Dm    F       Am          G     Gadd11  G
How does it feel    to be you, Lester Bangs?
      Dm              F
Three thousand miles away
     Am                 G   Gadd11  G
This nerd hangs on your word
  Dm                        F
I lean, and you are leaned upon
            Am               G    Gadd11  G
When all my youth went oh so wrong
