[Verse 1]
G Bm/F# Gdim7
It's a god-awful small affair
E7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Am Abaug C
But her mummy is yelling "No"
D
And her daddy has told her to go
G Bm/F# Gdim7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
E7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Am Abaug C
To the seat with the clearest view
D
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
Daug D Gm
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab
cause she's seen it ten times or more
D# G Cm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
C#
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
C F
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Am7 Abaug G
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Gm Dm7
It's the freakiest show
Fm7 C
Take a look at the lawman
F
Beating up the wrong guy
Am Abaug G
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
Gm Dm7
He's on the best selling show
Fm7 Am7 Abaug C D
Is there life on Mars?
[Verse 2]
G Bm/F# Gdim7
It's on America's tortured brow
E7
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Am Abaug C
Now the workers have struck for fame
D
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
G Bm/F# Gdim7
See the mice with their million hordes
E7
From Ibiza to the norfolk broads
Am Abaug C
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
D
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
Daug D Gm
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab
cause she writ it ten times or more
D# G Cm
It's about to be writ again
C#
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
C F
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Am7 Abaug G
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Gm Dm7
It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

Is there life on Mars?
