Great tune, great band, fun song to play.
Bm Em
Head on the wall...
D G
And my piss hardly makes the stall,
D G
And this time it's not an act.
D G
This time I swear it's fact.
Bm Em
Now I ramble on,
D G
About that girl who's gone;
D G
And I tried teaching her guitar,
D G
Now she's standing at the bar.
Em
She tells me her favourite song,
G
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."
Em
She says it follows her around.
G Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.
B F#m
I'm so lost,
C#m
And I live just around the corner.
B F#m
Well, here's a thought,
C#m
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.
E
And I'm John Lennon, in '67.
C#m
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
E
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
C#m

Bm Em
Adam's in love again.
D G
And the good Rev wants to jam instead.
D G
Morgan's hearing none of it.
D G
She says we're doing it again.
Bm Em
The neighbourhood's up in arms.
D G
They're trying to shut down all the bars
D G
When everyone's a private eye
D G
They're hiding in the bushes every night.
Em
The cats square off in the street,
G
The dogs go through the garbage.
Em
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
G G then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.
B F#m
I'm so lost,
C#m
And I live just around the corner.

C#m
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.

And I'm John Lennon, in '67.
