I Dont Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats - Guitar Chords
<< Back to The Boomtown Rats Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 4
All right, I have tried to find out the chords to I Don't Like Mondays
by the Boomtown Rats. I do not claim these are the right ones, but they
come pretty close. The only thing is that in the original song, it seems
that all is tuned 3/4 notes lower, but I've searched for not-too-difficult-to-play chords.
I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - THE BOOMTOWN RATS
----------------------------------------
[Verse 1]
C Em
The silicon chip inside her head
F G
Gets switched to overload
C Em
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
F G
She's gonna make them stay at home,
Am G
And daddy doesn't understand it,
C F
He always said she was good as gold,
F
And he can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F G
What reason do you need to be shown
[Hook]
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
F G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
F G
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
N.C. C
The whole day down.
[Verse 2]
C Em
The Telex machine is kept so clean
F G
And it types to a waiting world,
C
And Mother feels so shocked
Em
Father's world is rocked,
F
And their thoughts turn to
G
Their own little girl.
Am G
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
C F
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
F
They can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F G
What reasons do you need
[Hook]
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
F G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
F G
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
N.C. Am F
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down...
[Verse 3]
C Em
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
F G
She wants to play with her toys a while,
C Em
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
F G
And the lesson today is how to die.
Am
And then the bullhorn crackles,
G
And the captain tackles,
C F
With the problems and the hows and whys
F
And he can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F G
what reason do you need to die
[Hook]
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
F G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
C Em
Tell me why I don't like Mondays
F G
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
N.C. C
The whole day down.
Since the original is played on piano, chances are that you won't like
it as much on guitar, but I think it sounds reasonably well.
