[Intro]
A Ab/C#m F#m G6
D
[Verse 1]
A Ab/C#m (play like this: -4-7-6-6-0-0-)
On nights like this
F#m7 G6 D
When the world's a bit amiss
E
And the lights go down
A E E7
Across the trailer park
A
I get down
Ab/C#m
I feel had
F#m7 G6 D
I feel on the verge of going mad
E A
And then it's time to punch the clock
[Chorus]
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
And turn up the tape deck
D A E F#7
And pull the wig down on my head
Bm E
Suddenly i'm miss midwest
A Ab/C#m G6
midnight checkout queen
A D
Until i head home
E A G D
And put myself to bed
[Verse 2]
A Ab/C#m
I look back on where i'm from
F#m7 G D
Look at the woman i've become
E
And the strangest things
A E
Seem suddenly routine
A Ab/C#m
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
F#m G D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
E A
Of towering velveteen
[Chorus]
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
And some lavern baker
D A E F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A Ab/C#m G6
Suddenly i'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A D
Until i wake up
E A G D
And turn back to myself
[Verse 3]
A Ab/C#m
Some girls they got a natural ease
F#m G6 D
They wear it any way they please
E
With their french flip curls
A E
And perfumed magazines
A
Wear it up
Ab/C#m
Let it down
F#m G6 D
This is the best way that i've found
E A
To be the best you've ever seen
[Chorus]
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
And turn up the eight-track
D A E F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A
Suddenly i'm miss farrah fawcett
Ab/C#m G6
From tv
A D
Until i wake up
E A
And turn back to myself
[Bridge]
D
Shag, bi-level, bob
C
Dorothy Hammil do,
D
Sausage curls, chicken wings
C
It's all because of you
D
With your blow dried, feather back,
C
Toni home wave, too
D
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
C
It's all because of you
Bb
It's all because of you
A7 G
It's all because of you
[Chorus]
A E
I put on some make-up
F#m C#m
turn up the eight-track
D A E F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm E A
Suddenly i'm this punk rock star
Ab/C#m G6
Of stage and screen
A D
And I ain't never
E A
I'm never turning back
