[Verse 1]
F       Am                   Cm/Eb
It's a god-awful small affair
           D7                  
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm      Bb                   C7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
                                F
And her daddy has told her to go
F       Am                          Cm/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
           D7                          
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Gm         Bb                     C7
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen

[Pre-Chorus]
Ab       Eaug                   Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
              Ab7                   
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db           Aaug                  Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
             Db7           
As they ask her to focus on

[Chorus]
Bb         Eb                     
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7       Gbaug                 F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm                     Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7                    Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb                      
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         Gbaug                 
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
FFm                          Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7               Gm7Gbaug Bb/F C/E
Is there life on Mars?

[Bridge]
F   Gbdim Gm  Ddim Am Bb  Bbm

[Verse 2]
F       Am                     Cm/Eb
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
           D7                       
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm         Bb                       C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
                             F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
F       Am                          Cm/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
           D7                   
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
Gm         Bb                  C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

[Pre-Chorus]
Ab       Eaug                   Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
        Ab7                       
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Db           Aaug          Bbm
It's about to be writ again
             Db7        
As I ask you to focus on

[Chorus]
Bb         Eb                     
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7       Gbaug                 F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm                     Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7                    Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb                      
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         Gbaug                 
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
FFm                          Cm7
