Lousy Boy Ukulele Chords

Capo 2
 
 
A
When I was four I thought I was a girl
A
I had a doll and my hair would curl
Am
My sister let me play with her
A
Her silly little toy brother
 
A
She and Leslie put me in a dress
A
We all laughed, I was a pretty mess
Am
I learned later that this was wrong
A
Boys don't dress up if they're gonna belong
 
 
A
And fair, Is fair
Am
Take a shot if you dare
A                   A
No guy shies from a fight
Am                          A
On a Thornhill summer night
 
A
And a man, Is a man
Am
When he's got a gun in his hand
A                       A
Well I never wanted to destroy
Am                       A
I always made a lousy boy.
 
A
Sometimes you gotta live within your skin
A
Sometimes you gotta take a shot on the chin
Am
Thirteen years old and I didn't wanna get caught
A
They set the tussle for Mac's parking lot
 
A
Me and some kid I was supposed to hate
A
Two gladiators comin' out of Grade Eight
Am
And every instinct tellin' me that I should hide
A
I swallowed hard and I swallowed my pride
 
A
And fair, Is fair
Am
Take a shot if you dare
A                    A
No guy shies from a fight
Am                        A
On a Thornhill summer night
 
A
And a man, Is a man
Am
When he's got a gun in his hand
A                          A
Well I never wanted to destroy
Am                       A
I always made a lousy boy.
 
 
A Am A
La la la la la la la....
 
A
I sing these words and I remember that night
A
I'll grow some wrinkles but I think I'm alright
Am
Sometimes I'm vulnerable, sometimes I cry
A
I won't join any tribe living a lie
 
A
And I know guys who are just like me
A
They like hockey and poetry
Am
I think in retrospect that we have won
A
I'm a full-grown man and I don't own a gun
 
A
And fair, Is fair
Am
Take a shot if you care
A                          A
Some guy shies from a fight
Am                        A
On a Thornhill summer night
 
A
If a man, Is a man
Am
When he's got a gun in his hand
A                           A
Well I never wanted to destroy
Am                       A
I always made a lousy boy
