Great tune, great band, fun song to play.


Em             Am
Head on the wall...

G                       C
And my piss hardly makes the stall,

G                              C
And this time it's not an act.

G                C
This time I swear it's fact.


Em              Am
Now I ramble on,

G            C
About that girl who's gone;

G                                C
And I tried teaching her guitar,

G                       C
Now she's standing at the bar.


Am
She tells me her favourite song,

C
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."

Am
She says it follows her around.

C                                 Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.


E        Bm
I'm so lost,

F#m
And I live just around the corner.

E                 Bm
Well, here's a thought,

F#m
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.


A
And I'm John Lennon, in '67.

F#m
I'm John Lennon, in '67.

A
I'm John Lennon, in '67.

F#m
I'm John Lennon, in '67.

Em                Am
Adam's in love again.

G                                 C
And the good Rev wants to jam instead.

G                    C
Morgan's hearing none of it.

G                          C
She says we're doing it again.


Em                              Am
The neighbourhood's up in arms.

G                                  C
They're trying to shut down all the bars

G                       C
When everyone's a private eye

G                                   C
They're hiding in the bushes every night.


Am
The cats square off in the street,

C
The dogs go through the garbage.

Am
You wanna stay for the night tonight?

C                                       C then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.


E        Bm
