Quite a lot. Now::
[Verse]
F Am/E Cm6/Eb
It's a god-awful small affair
D7sus4 D7 Gm
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm/F C7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
F
And her daddy has told her to go
Am/E Cm6/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
D7sus4 D7 Gm
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Gm/F C7
To the seat with the clearest view
Cm/Eb
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Eaug Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
F# C#
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
Aaug Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
C#7/B
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
Bb EbM
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#aug F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm6 Cm
It's the freakiest show
Ebm Bb
Take a look at the lawman
EbM
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#aug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F Fm6 Cm
He's in the best selling show
Ebm Gm F#aug Bb C7
Is there life on Mars?
(2-time)
F F#dim7 Gm E7 Am Bb Bbm
[Verse]
F Am/E Cm6/Eb
It's on America's tortured brow
D7sus4 D7 Gm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm/F C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
Am/E Cm6/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
D7sus4 D7 Gm
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Gm/F C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
Cm/Eb
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Eaug Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
F# C#
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Aaug Bbm
It's about to be writ again
C#7/B
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
Bb EbM
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#aug F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm6 Cm
It's the freakiest show
Ebm Bb
Take a look at the lawman
EbM
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#aug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F Fm6 Cm
He's in the best selling show
Ebm Gm F#aug Bb C7
Is there life on Mars?
[Outro]
