[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/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
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/F C/E
Is there life on Mars?

One of the hardest and complex chords for a song.
In a good way of course.
Such a challenge.

Hey, very nice! But I wonder in the chords did you mean Eaug to be x3211x as it sounds more like it, x6544x seems a bit far up the neck. And to my ear the "G?" at the end of the chorus could be more like a C. Otherwise this tab is bloody brilliant. Thanks!

The first row of the pre-chorus, I can't put my finger on it but it sounds wierd. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
Rest of the chords seems fine though. Great job!
