Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9 Version 11These took a long time to transcribe, and I feel they are most suitably played on guitar with a capo. I replaced the non-harmonic bass tones with 7th chords to make it easier to play on guitar. It's verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, outro. These are some extremely creative chords, so there may be a dominant 7th in place of a diminished in some places. Capo on 3rd fret [Verse] D Dm7 D7 It's a god-awful small affair B7 Em To the girl with the mousy hair Em7 A But her mummy is yelling "No" A7 D And her daddy has told her to go Dm7 D7 But her friend is nowhere to be seen B7 Em Now she walks through her sunken dream Em7 A To the seat with the clearest view A7 C And she's hooked to the silver screen A7 Dm But the film is a saddening bore Eb Bb For she's lived it ten times or more D7 Gm She could spit in the eyes of fools Bb7 As they ask her to focus on [Chorus] G C Sailors fighting in the dance hall Em Eb+ D Dm Oh man! Look at those cavemen go Am Cm It's the freakiest show G Take a look at the Lawman C Beating up the wrong guy Em Eb+ D Dm Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know Am Cm He's in the best selling show Em Em7 A A7 Is there life on Mars? [Bridge] D B7 Em Abdim7 Gbm G Gm [Verse 2] D Dm7 D7 It's on America's tortured brow B7 Em That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Em7 A Now the workers have struck for fame A7 D 'Cause Lennon's on sale again Dm7 D7 See the mice in their million hordes B7 Em From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads Em7 A Rule Britannia is out of bounds A7 C To my mother, my dog, and clowns A7 Dm But the film is a saddening bore Eb Bb 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more D7 Gm It's about to be writ again Bb7 As I ask you to focus on [Chorus] G C Sailors fighting in the dance hall Em Eb+ D Dm Oh man! Look at those cavemen go Am Cm It's the freakiest show G Take a look at the Lawman C Beating up the wrong guy Em Eb+ D Dm Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know Am Cm He's in the best selling show Em Em7 A A7 Is there life on Mars? [Outro] D B7 Em G D D C Cm G
