To the girl with the mousey hair

C4 G/B
To the seats with the clearest view
G D#7+
And she's hooked to the silver screen,
G/B Cm
But the film is sadd'ning bore
Db Ab
For she's lived it ten times or more
C7 Fm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Ab
As they ask her to focus on

'Cause Lennon's on sale again.

See the mice in their million hordes

From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads.

Rule Britannia is out of bounds

To my mother, my dog, and clowns,
G/B Cm
But the film is a sadd'ning bore

'Cause I wrote it ten times or more.

It's about to be writ again

As I ask you to focus on
