[F] It's on [F/E] Amerikas tortured [F/Eb] brow
That [D7] Mickey Mouse has grown up a [Gm] cow
For she's lived it ten times or more
Now the [Gm7] workers have struck for [C] fame

She could F p
spit in the eyes of fools
'Cause Lennon's on sale [F] again
See the [F/E] mice in their million [F/Eb] hordes

As they X ask her to focus on


From [D7] Ibeza to the Norfolk [Gm] Broads
Rule [Gm7] Britannia is out of [C] bounds
To my mother, my dog, and [Ab] clowns
But the [C] film is a saddening [Fm] bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or [C#] more
It's [F] about to be writ [Bbm] again
The chords in the transition aren't quite perfect As I [C#] ask you to focus on
for the ending, but I ran out of steam :)
{{CHORUS}} - Repeat transition and end on F.
