Verse 1:
F       Am                    Cm  
It's a god-awful small affair
           D7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm         Bb                    C7
   But her mummy is yelling "No"
                                 F
And her daddy has told her to go
F       Am                          Cm  
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
           D7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Gm         Bb                      C7
To the seat with the clearest view

And she's Hooked to the silver screen

Pre-Chorus:
Ab       Eaug                    Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
              Ab7
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db           Aaug                   Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
             Db7
As they ask her to focus on

Chorus:
Bb         Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7       Gbaug                  F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm                      Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7                    Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         Gbaug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F  Fm                            Cm7
   He's in the best selling show
Ebm7               Gm7       Gbaug   Bb   C 
Is there life on Mars?

Interlude: F Gbdim Gm Ddim Am Bb Bbm

Verse 2:
F       Am                      Cm  
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
           D7
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm         Bb                        C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
                               F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
F       Am                          Cm  
See the mice in their million hordes
           D7
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
Gm         Bb                   C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds

To my mother, my dog, and clowns

Pre-Chorus:
Ab       Eaug                    Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
              Ab7
For I've writ it ten times or more
Db           Aaug           Bbm
It's about to be writ again
             Db7
As I ask you to focus on

Chorus:
Bb         Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7       Gbaug                  F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm                      Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7                    Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm         Gbaug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F  Fm                            Cm7
   He's in the best selling show
Ebm7               Gm7       Gbaug   Bb   C 
Is there life on Mars?
