[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
F Fm                                                     Cm7
   He's in the best selling show
Ebm7                   Gm7 Gbaug Bb 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
For I've writ 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
F Fm                                                 Cm7
   He's in the best selling show
Ebm7                   Gm7 Gbaug Bb C/E
Is there life on Mars?
