Capo: 3
These took a long time to transcribe, and I feel they are most suitably played on
guitar with a capo. I replaced the non-harmonic bass tones with
7th chords to make it easier to play on guitar. It's verse, chorus, bridge, verse,
chorus, outro. These are some extremely creative chords, so there may be a
dominant 7th in place of a diminished in some places.

[Verse]
DIt's a DM7god-awful small affair D7
To the B7girl with the mousy hair Em
But herEm7 mummy is yelling "NAo"
And her A7daddy has told her to go D
But her DM7friend is nowhere to be seeD7n
Now she B7walks through her sunken dream Em
To the Em7seat with the clearest view A
And she's A7hooked to the silver screen C
But the A7film is a saddening bore Dm
For she's Eblived it ten times or moreBb
She could D7spit in the eyes of fools Gm
As they Bb7ask her to focus on
