E
The merry band of "How are you's"
D A
In tweedy suits and pointy shoes
E
They offer me a ride in style
F# B
And something sweet to make me smile
E
I hate to hurt their feelings so
D A
But I'm supposed to tell them no
E
My parents say the world is cruel
F# B
I think that they prefer it cruel
[Chorus]
E C# F#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
E C# F#m
I know that you're all OK, but
A B
My orders come from high above me
Am B
About a foot or two above me
[Interlude]
E Am
Just keep right on walking
D C G
Just keep right on walking
E Am
Just keep right on walking
D C G
Just keep right on walking
[Instrumental]

E D A E F# B
[Chorus]
E C# F#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
E C# F#m
I know that you're all OK, but
A B
My orders come from high above me
Am B
About a foot or two above me
[Chorus]
E C# F#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
F# D# G#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
G# F Bbm
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
Cm C#
Anyway, anyway
