[Verse 1]
A                F#m7
 Short People got no reason
B7               E7sus4
 Short people got no reason
A                F#m7
 Short People got no reason
  | B7   B7sus4| E7sus4 |
To live
 
[Bridge]
            A                 A7
They got ... little hands and little eyes
D                         F7
 They walk around tellin' great big lies
            A                 A7
They got ... little noses and tiny little teeth
             D                        F7
They wear ... platform shoes on their nasty little feet
 
[Chorus]
           A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4
Well, I ... don't want no short people
A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4
 Don't want no short people
A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4       | A | F#m7 | B7   B7sus4| E7sus4 |
 Don't want no short people 'round here
 
[Bridge]
 
D                 A                Bm7       E7sus4        [ D ]
 Short people are just the same as you and I  (Fools such as I)
D            Amaj7              Bm7         E7sus4            [ A ]
 All men are brothers until the day they die (It's a wonderful world)
 
[Verse]
A               F#m7
Short People got nobody
B7               E7sus4
 Short people got nobody
A               Fm#7
Short people got nobody
  | B7   B7sus4| E7sus4 |
To lo-ove.
 
 
[Bridge]
           A                           A7
They got ... little baby legs and they stand so low
          D                     F7
You got to pick them up just to say hello
           A                     A7
They got ... little cars that go beep beep beep
            D                    F7
They got ... little voices going peep peep peep
            A                          A7
They got ... grubby little fingers and dirty little minds
D                      F7
 They're gonna get you every time
 
[Chorus]
           A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4
Well, I ... don't want no short people
A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4
 Don't want no short people
A      F#m7    B7    E7sus4       | A | F#m7 | B7   B7sus4| E7sus4 |
 Don't want no short people 'round here
 
[Outro]
| A | F#m7 | B7   B7sus4| E7sus4 |
