xI was suprised to see there wasn't a chordal version of this great song, so thought i'd
it down. It's a slightly simplified version of the original song, just missing out the
unimportant chords for a less demanding sing-along.
For the D5 i recommend this shape:
x
3
2
0
0
x
You could play it as a Dm instead, however D5's ambiguousity serves the songs better.
[Intro]
Am x4 bars
[Verse]
Am F
There's a place where everyone can be happy,
C G
it's the most beautiful place in the whole fuckin' world,
Am F
it's made of candy canes and planes and bright red choo choo trains,
C
and the meanest little boys,
G Am
most innocent little girls and you know,
F
i wish that I could go there,
C G
it's a road that I have not found,
Am F
and I wish you the best of luck dear,
C D5 E
drop a card or letter to my side of town.
[Chorus]
F E
'cause there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend,
F E F G
but baby I'm amazed at the hate that you can send,
Am F G Am
and you,
F D5 E
painted my entire world,
Am F
but I,
G F E
don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled,
Am
and I won't forget it.
[Verse]
F
There's a place where everyone can be right,
C G
even though you remain determined to be opposed,
Am F
admittance requires no qualifications,
C G
it's where everyone has been and where everybody goes,
Am F
so please try not to be impatient,
C G
for we all hate standing in line,
Am F
and when the farm is good and bought you'll be there without a thought,
C D5 E
and eternity my friend is a long fuckin' time.
[Chorus]
F E
'cause there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend,
F E F G
but baby I'm amazed at the hate that you can send,
Am F G Am
and you,
F D5 E
painted my entire world,
Am F
but I,
G F E
don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled,
Am
and I won't forget it.
