Verse 1: Eb Ebaug No one likes us, I don't know why. G7 C7 We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try. Abmaj7 Abm And all around, even our old friends put us down, Eb Bb7 Bb Let's drop the big one and see what happens. Verse 2: Eb Ebaug We give them money, but are they grateful? G7 C7 No, they're spiteful, and they're hateful. Abmaj7 Abm They don't respect us, so let's surprise them; Eb Bb7 Bb We'll drop the big one; pulve-rize them. Verse 3: Eb Ebaug Asia's crowded, Europe's too old, G7 C7 Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold. Abmaj7 Abm And South America stole our name, Eb Bb7 Bb Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us. Bridge 1: Ab Eb We'll save Australia; Ab Eb Don't want to hurt no kangaroo. Ab Eb We'll build an all-American amusement park there; Bb7 They got surfing too. Verse 3: Eb Ebaug Boom! goes London, boom! Paree, G7 C7 More room for you, and more room for me. Abmaj7 Abm And every city, the whole world 'round; Eb C7 Will just be another American town. F7 Bb7 Oh, how peaceful it will be; we'll set everybody free, G7 C7 You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe, it'll be Italian shoes for me. Outro: Ab Eb They all hate us anyhow, F Ab Eb So let's drop the big one now. F Ab Eb Let's drop the big one now.

How to play Political Science on ukulele
On ukulele, Political Science comes down to the down-up eighths: d u d u. The groove sits around 116 bpm, a medium pace, and it swings lightly. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Swing the strums lightly to match the playful piano bounce
