Capo: Fret 3
These 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]
It's a god-awf
ul small affai
r
To the girl wi
th the mousy h
air
But her mummy
is yelling "No
"
And her daddy
has told her t
o go
But her friend
is nowhere to
be seen
Now she walks
through her su
nken dream
To the seat wi
th the cleares
t view
And she's hook
ed to the silv
er screen
But the film i
s a saddening
bore
For she's live
d it ten times
or more
She could spit
in the eyes o
f fools
As they ask he
r to focus on
[Chorus]
Sailors fighti
ng in the danc
e hall
Oh man! Look a
t those caveme
n go
It's the freak
iest show
Take a look at
the Lawman
Beating up the
wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder
if he'll ever
know
He's in the be
st selling sho
w
Is there life
on Mars?
[Bridge]
[Verse 2]
It's on Americ
a's tortured b
row
That Mickey Mo
use has grown
up a cow
Now the worker
s have struck
for fame
'Cause Lennon'
s on sale agai
n
See the mice i
n their millio
n hordes
From Ibiza to
the Norfolk Br
oads
Rule Britannia
is out of bou
nds
To my mother,
my dog, and cl
owns
But the film i
s a saddening
bore
'Cause I wrote
it ten times
or more
It's about to
be writ again
As I ask you t
o focus on
[Chorus]
Sailors fighti
ng in the danc
e hall
Oh man! Look a
t those caveme
n go
It's the freak
iest show
Take a look at
the Lawman
Beating up the
wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder
if he'll ever
know
He's in the be
st selling sho
w
Is there life
on Mars?
[Outro]
