[Verse 1]
 
F#                               G# A
What's with these homies dissin' my girl
A
Why do they gotta front
F#                           G# A
What did we ever do to these guys
A
That made them so violent
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
D                 C#m       F#
Ooh ooh, but you know I'm yours
D                 C#m        F#
Ooh ooh, and you know you're mine
D             Dm
Ooh ooh, and that's for all time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                    D              E
Ooh wee ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
A                   D         E
Uh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
F#                     D E A
I don't care what they say about us anyway,
A     D     E        A
I don't care about that
 
 
[Bridge 1]
 
Play F# G# slide A  under Riff 1
Riff 1 (maybe a synth, but sounds good on the guitar)

[Verse 2]
 
F#                               G# A
Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
A
I know that you need help
F#                                     G# A
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
A
You need a guardian
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
D                 C#m       F#
Ooh ooh, but you know I'm yours
D                 C#m        F#
Ooh ooh, and you know you're mine
D             Dm
Ooh ooh, and that's for all time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                    D              E
Ooh wee ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
A                   D         E
Uh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
F#                     D E A
I don't care what they say about us anyway,
A     D     E        A
I don't care about that
 
 
[Bridge 2]
(This is the part I didn't get yet that needs work)
 
It's mostly just A E F# E  with a little run.
(The trick is to barre the F#, and let the E open by letting up your index finger.
When I get a chance I will fix it, unless someone gets to it first!)
 
Bang bang, knock on the door
'Nother big bang, you're down on the floor
Oh no, what do we do
Don't look down but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's the matter babe, are you feelin' sick
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter, you
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue
 
 
[Solo]
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                    D              E
Ooh wee ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
A                   D         E
Uh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
F#                     D E A
I don't care what they say about us anyway,
A     D     E        A
I don't care about that

It's not that good It starts in F#m not F# and it's like that in the whole song The first line in the chorus is also wrong.

Ooh Ooh, That's why I-I do... ?? (tough line to understand) It says: "..and that's for all of time"
