[Verse 1]
A C#m/G# Gdim7
It's a god-awful small affair
F#7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Bm A#aug D
But her mummy is yelling "No"
E
And her daddy has told her to go
A C#m/G# Gdim7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
F#7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Bm A#aug D
To the seat with the clearest view
E
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
Eaug E Am
But the film is a saddening bore
A#
cause she's seen it ten times or more
F A Dm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
D#
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
D G
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Bm7 A#aug A
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Am Em7
It's the freakiest show
Gm7 D
Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

He's on the best selling show
Gm7 Bm7 A#aug D E
Is there life on Mars?

Now the workers have struck for fame

'Cause Lennon's on sale again

See the mice with their million hordes

From Ibiza to the norfolk broads
Bm A#aug D
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
E
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
Eaug E Am
But the film is a saddening bore
A#
cause she writ it ten times or more
F A Dm
It's about to be writ again
D#
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

Is there life on Mars?

Is there life on Mars?
