Boomtown Rats, The - 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.
