intro: B A E A (x6)


             B   A E A
I could have read
        B     A E A
A poem called
   B    A  E A
Ozymandias
         B   A  E A
To her instead
               B    A  E A
I live for the moment
         B    A  E A
It was a futile
        B   A   E A
Gesture anyway
      B   A  E A
I was here
            B   A  E A
And she was here
            B   A  E A
And being broad
            B   A  E A
Of mind and hips
            B   A  E A
We did the only
            B   A  E A
Thing possible


E D C#5/E D (x2)

E         D              C#5/E            D
I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death but
E        D             C#5/E             D
I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with
E   D  C#5/E D
acid!

E D C#5/E D (x8, keyboard solo enters 3rd time)

E    D      C#5/E         D
Normally, I wouldn't have minded
E         D         C#5/E     D
But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid
E     D  C#5/E     D
Besides, she had acne
E                 D
And if you've got acne
C#5/E     D           E  D           C#5/E   D
Well, I apologise for disliking it intensely
              E              D           C#5/E    D
But it's understandable that ugly people have got complexes
E         D      C#5/E     D           E              D     C#5/E  D
I mean it seems to me that ugly people don't have a chance

E (N.C.)
  It's only the children or the fucking wealthy who tend be good looking!

B A E A (x2)

        B   A  E  A
An ugly fart
           B      A     E  A
Attracts a good looking
B            A      E    A
Chick if he's got money

(repeat the above three times)


repeat chords of B A E A (x17)

It's different for jews somehow
I'd like to see...a passionate...film between...the two ugliest
People in the world...when I say ugly...I don't mean rough looking
I mean hideous...don't tell me that...aesthetics are...subjective you
Just know the truth...when you see it...whatever it is...

G

A5    G5  ... D5    C5
Mus - cle ... pow - er! (x4)
