The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays
C
G
The silicon chip inside her head
F
G
Gets switched to overload
C
G
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
F
G
She's gonna make them stay at home,
Am
G
And Daddy doesn't understand it,
C
F
He always said she was good as gold,
F
And he can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F
G
What reason do you need to be shown
CHORUS:
C
G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
F
G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
C
G
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,
F
G
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
C
The whole day down.
C
G
The Telex machine is kept so clean
F
G
And it types to a waiting world,
C
And Mother feels so shocked
G
Father's world is rocked,
F
And their thoughts turn to
G
Their own little girl.
Am
G
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
C
F
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
F
They can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F
G
What reasons do you need
CHORUS
Am
F
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down
C
G
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
F
G
She wants to play with her toys a while,
C
G
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
F
G
And the lesson today is how-to-die.
Am
And then the bullhorn crackles,
G
And the captain tackles,
C
F
With the problems and the how's and why's
F
And he can see no reasons
F
Cos there are no reasons
F
G
what reason do you need to die
CHORUS
C
The whole day down.
