    [Verse 1]
    F Am Cm/Eb
    It's a god-awful small affair
    D7
    To the girl with the mousy hair
    Gm Bb C7
    But her mummy is yelling "No"
    F
    And her daddy has told her to go
    F Am Cm/Eb
    But her friend is nowhere to be seen
    D7
    Now she walks through her sunken dream.
    Gm Bb C7
    To the seat with the clearest view
    And she's hooked to the silver screen
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Ab Eaug Fm
    But the film is a saddening bore
    Ab7
    For she's lived it ten times or more
    Db Aaug Bbm
    She could spit in the eyes of fools
    Db7
    As they ask her to focus on
    [Chorus]
    Bb Eb
    Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Gm7 Gbaug F
    Oh man! look at those cavemen go
    Fm Cm7
    It's the freakiest show
    Ebm7 Bb
    Take a look at the lawman
    Eb
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Gm Gbaug
    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
    F Fm Cm7
    He's in the best selling show
    Ebm7 Gm7 Gbaug Bb C/E
    Is there life on Mars?
    [Bridge]
    F Gbdim Gm Ddim Am Bb Bbm
    [Verse 2]
    F Am Cm/Eb
    It's on Amerika's tortured brow
    D7
    That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
    Gm Bb C7
    Now the workers have struck for fame
    F
    'Cause Lennon's on sale again
    F Am Cm/Eb
    See the mice in their million hordes
    D7
    From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
    Gm Bb C7
    Rule Britannia is out of bounds
    To my mother, my dog, and clowns
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Ab Eaug Fm
    But the film is a saddening bore
    Ab7
    For I've writ it ten times or more
    Db Aaug Bbm
    It's about to be writ again
    Db7
    As I ask you to focus on
    [Chorus]
    Bb Eb
    Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Gm7 Gbaug F
    Oh man! look at those cavemen go
    Fm Cm7
    It's the freakiest show
    Ebm7 Bb
    Take a look at the lawman
    Eb
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Gm Gbaug
    Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
    F Fm Cm7
    He's in the best selling show
    Ebm7 Gm7 Gbaug Bb C/E
    Is there life on Mars?

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
