[Verse]

F         Am/E                   Cm6/Eb
   It's a god-awful small affair
       D7sus4        D7        Gm
To the girl with the mousy hair
        Gm/F                 C7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
                                F
And her daddy has told her to go

        Am/E                       Cm6/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
        D7sus4            D7          Gm
Now she walks through her sunken dream
       Gm/F                    C7
To the seat with the clearest view
                                      Cm/Eb
And she's hooked to the silver screen

        Eaug                     Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
             F#                        C#
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
          Aaug                     Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
        C#7/B
As they ask her to focus on


[Chorus]

Bb      EbM
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm         F#aug                 F
   Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm6                     Cm
   It's the freakiest show

Ebm                    Bb
    Take a look at the lawman
EbM
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         F#aug
   Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F Fm6                            Cm
      He's in the best selling show
Ebm                  Gm    F#aug Bb C7
    Is there life on Mars?

                   (2-time)
F F#dim7 Gm E7 Am Bb Bbm


[Verse]

F          Am/E                  Cm6/Eb
  It's on America's tortured brow
            D7sus4          D7      Gm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
        Gm/F                        C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
                             F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again

        Am/E                  Cm6/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
      D7sus4      D7            Gm
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
        Gm/F                   C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
                                Cm/Eb
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

        Eaug                Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
         F#                        C#
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
      Aaug                 Bbm
It's about to be writ again
     C#7/B
As I ask you to focus on


[Chorus]

Bb      EbM
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm         F#aug                 F
   Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm6                     Cm
   It's the freakiest show

Ebm                    Bb
    Take a look at the lawman
EbM
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         F#aug
   Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F Fm6                            Cm
      He's in the best selling show
Ebm                  Gm    F#aug Bb C7
    Is there life on Mars?


[Outro]
