SPARKS-FUNNY FACE
Album: Whomp That Sucker(1981)
Tabbed By: Matt Skeefe (Pavmint@gmail.com)
 
Simple, but fun song. I'm pretty sure all the chords are played as power chords on
the album version, but this is how I play it acoustically, with the electric
guitar solo as a bonus. Pretty simple, use the basic chord fingerings. You don't
need to change the base notes if you don't want to, and the A6 in the chorus can
just be played as a regular A major chord without the F#.
D
I looked a lot like a Vogue Magazine
Bm
Perfect and smooth, they all called me a dream
G           A
Flawless and loveless, no intimacy
G       A            Bm
I only lived to be seen
G          A         D
Not to be touched, too clean
 
Chorus:
 
G  D/F# A/E      A6  A   Bm
Funny Face, I want a Funny Face
G  D/F# A/E      A6  A   D
 
Funny Face, I want a Funny Face
 
Billions of dollars are spent on the face
Covering, smoothing, and changing the shape
Everyone wanted a face just like mine
Nobody wanted me
Only to look like me
 
Chorus
        Bm             E
Well, I'm ungrateful but I don't care
Bm            E
I hear comments from everywhere
Bm       D      E
Probably nothing behind the face
A
The face, the face, Ooohhhh
 
Solo:
b=Bend
r=Release Bend
s=Slide
v=Vibrato

That was the day that I jumped off the bridge
Trying to end it all, I barely lived
Doctor Lamaar said "your face is a mess"
All of the rest you can guess
 
I got my one request
(He got his one request)
And I am happy, yes
(And he is happy, yes)
I got my one request
(He got his Funny Face)
And I am happy, yes
    A6  A
And I am happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
 
Repeat Chorus
