 standard tuning

    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


        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

NC            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


        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

NC            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


        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

NC            C
The whole day down.
