VERSE:
B minorBm     		A augmentedA     G+G    E minorEm
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
B minorBm			A augmentedA     G+G    E minorEm
This supermarket life is getting long
B minorBm			A augmentedA	G+G    E minorEm
What is the heart life of a colour TV
B minorBm		    A augmentedA		G+G    E minorEm C majorC
What is the shelf life of a teenage queen

D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD G+G
Ooh Western woman
D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD G+G
Ooh Western girl

B minorBm
New hounds sniff the air
	   A augmentedA      G+G		E minorEm
When Jessica Hahn goes down
B minorBm					 A augmentedA G+G E minorEm
He latches onto that symbol of detachment
B minorBm       A augmentedA   G+G			E minorEm
attracted by the peeling away of feeling
B minorBm        A augmentedA   G+G			 E minorEm C majorC
The celebrity of the abused shell the belle

D MajorD   Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD G+G
Ooh Western woman
D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
Ooh Western girl

D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD G+G
Ooh Western woman
D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
Ooh Western girl

D MajorD
And the children of Melrose
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Strut their stuff
 G+G
Is absolute zero cold enough
D MajorD		    Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
And out in the valley warm and clean
  G+G
The little ones sit by their TV screens
D MajorD	    Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD
No thoughts to think
G+G
No tears to cry
G+G   A augmentedA	  B minorBm
All sucked dry
	    A augmentedA     G+G
Down to the very last breath
E minorEm		  A augmentedA
Bartender what is wrong with me?
E minorEm		    A augmentedA
Why am I so out of breath?
E minorEm		  A augmentedA
The captain said excuse me ma'am
E minorEm		   A augmentedA
This species has amused itself to death

(intro notes comes in full force)

D MajorD    Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
Amused itself to death
D MajorD    Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
Amused itself to death
D MajorD	    Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD    G+G
We watched the tragedy unfold

We did as we were told
	D MajorD
We bought and sold
	    Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD   G+G
It was the greatest show on earth

But then it was over
D MajorD
we ohhed and aahed
	     Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD
we drove our racing cars
G+G
We ate our last few jars of cavier
D MajorD
And somewhere out there in the stars
  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
A augmentedA keen-eyed look-out
G+G
Spied a flickering light
       D MajorD
Our last hurrah
       G+G
Our last hurrah

E minorEm			     A augmentedA
And when they found our shadows
E minorEm			  A augmentedA
Grouped around the TV sets
E minorEm			A augmentedA
They ran down every lead
E minorEm			A augmentedA
They repeated every test
B minorBm			      G+G
They checked out all the data on their lists
     B minorBm
And then the alien anthropologists
G+G		   E minorEm
Admitted they were still perplexed
D MajorD
But on eliminating every other reason
Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
For our sad demise
D MajorD           Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD  G+G
They logged the explanation left
G+G		     B minorBm
This species has amused itself to death

B minorBm  A augmentedA  G+G  E minorEm
B minorBm  A augmentedA  G+G  E minorEm
