I Don’t Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats
Verse 1:
The [C]silicon chip in[Em]side her head gets [F]switched to over[G]load
And [C]nobody's gonna go to [Em]school today
She's gonna [F]make them stay at [G]home
And [F]Daddy doesn't under[G7]stand it
He always [C]said she was good as [F]gold
And he can see no reason, cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be [G]shown?
|Chorus:
|Tell me [C]why I don't like [Em]Mondays?
|Tell me [F]why I don't like [G]Mon[F]days?
|Tell me [C]why I don't like [Em]Mondays?
|I wanna [F]shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot [G]
|The whole day [C]down [Em] [F] [G][G][F][F]
Verse 2:
The [C]Telex machine is [Em]kept so clean as it [F]types to a waiting [G]world
And Mother [C]feels so shocked, Father's [Em]world is rocked
And their [F]thoughts turn to their [G]own little girl
[F]Sweet sixteen ain't that [G]peachy keen,
no, it [C]ain't so [G]neat to ad[F]mit defeat
They can see no reasons, cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be [G]shown?
|Chorus:
|Tell me [C]why I don't like [Em]Mondays?
|Tell me [F]why I don't like [G]Mon[F]days?
|[G]Tell me [C]why I don't like [Em]Mondays?
|I wanna [F]shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot [G]
|The whole day [Em]down, down, down, shoot it all [C]down [Em] [F] [G] [C]
Bridge:
All the [C]playing's stopped in the [Em]playground now
She [F]wants to play with her [G]toys a while
And [C]school's out early and [Em]soon we'll be learning
And the [F]lesson today is [G]how to die *stop
Verse 3 - (slower):
And then the [F]bullhorn crackles, and the [G]captain tackles
With the [C]problems and the [G]how's and [F]why's
And he can see no reasons cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to [G]die, die?
