Fmaj7         C
  shut up and go to bed
Fmaj7            C
  put the pillow under your head
Caug
  I'm sick and tired
Fmaj7             C        G    G7
   of all of your worries
 
Fmaj7         C
  shut up and say goodnight

  say your prayers and turn out the light
Caug
  I'm sick and tired
Fmaj7            C
  of all of your sob stories
 
Fmaj7           C
 shut up and shut your eyes
     Fmaj7                   C
no more histrionics, no more college tries

you're a late night faucet that's got a drip
Caug
  all you're doing
Fmaj7             C      G    G7
  is merely complaining
 
Caug                              C
  the excuse that you're crazy is useless
Caug                                          C

  shut up and catch some z's
    Fmaj7                     C
ice cream with a cherry and a big pretty please
Caug
  I promise we will
Fmaj7    C
resume tomorrow
C
goodnight
 
On that last C, 3 on good, 2010 on night

@kaakeru: I think the correct chord is x3213x? Or even x3210x, but a vanilla Eaug doesn't sound right to me here. Also, to the OP, its an Fmaj7, not an Fsus2. And search YouTube for the version Loudon plays on Late Night with David Sanborn, and you can see his fingering. Here's one line for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ACgWiTX74I Here's a much more correct way of writing it: Eaug7/C = x3213x Fmaj7 = xx3210 inro: Fmaj7, C, Fmaj7, C, E7, Fmaj7, C, G, G7 Fmaj7 C shut up and go to bed Fmaj7 C put the pillow under your head E7 im sick and tired F C G of all of your worries Fmaj7 C shut up and say goodnight Fmaj7 C say ur prayers and turn out the light Eaug7/C im sick and tired F C G of all of your sob stories Fmaj7 C shut up and shut your eyes Fmaj7 C no more historyonics no more college tries Eaug7/C stop pushing F C G stop shoving stop straining Fmaj7 C shut your mouth and button your lip Fmaj7 C your a late night foset thats got a drip Eaug7/C all your doing F C G is merely complaining Bridge: Eaug7/C C the excuse that your crazy is useless Eaug7/C C your not biting your barking...your toothless G G7 but your ruthless [solo] Fmaj7 C shut up and count some sheep Fmaj7 C do me a favour dont bitch in your sleep Eaug7/C no more agony... F C G please no more sorrow Fmaj7 C shut up and catch some z's Fmaj7 C ice cream with a cherry and a big prety please Eaug7/C i promise we will F C G resume tomorrow G goodnight

Thx for the tab. I think it's Eaug (032110) instead of E7.
