I Don't Like Mondays  



 
    Bb              F 
The silicon chip inside her head 
    Eb               F 
Gets switched to overload 
Bb                      F 
Nobody's gonna go to school today, 
            Eb                F 
She's gonna make them stay at home, 
    Gm                   F 
And daddy doesn't understand it, 
          Bb                   Eb 
He always said she was good as gold, 
Eb 
And he can see 
No reasons 
Eb 
'Cause there are  
No reasons 
     Eb                       F 
What reason do you need to be shown. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! 
 
Bb 
Tell me why 
             F

          Eb    F 
I want to shoot the whole day down. 
 
   Bb                F 
The telex machine is kept so clean, 
       Eb                 F 
And it types to a waiting world, 
           Bb 
Her mother feels so shocked, 
         F 
Father's world is rocked, 
           Eb                       F 
And their thoughts turned to their own little girl. 
      Gm                  F 
Well, sweet sixteen ain't she peachy keen, 
       Bb               Eb 
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat, 
Eb 
There could be  
No reasons 
Eb 
Because there are 
No reasons 
     Eb            F 
What reason do you need. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! 
 
Bb 
Tell me why 
             F

          Eb    F             Gm       
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down  
                  Eb        Gm    Eb 
I'll shoot it all down. 
 
            Bb                       F 
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now 
    Eb                    F 
She want to play with her toys a while. 
      Bb                  F    
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that  
    Eb              F 
the lesson today is how to die. 
             Gm 
And then the bullhorn crackles, 
            F                        Eb 
And the captain tackles with the problems and the 
          Bb  
how's and why's 
Eb 
And he can see  
No reasons 
Eb 
'Cause there are  
No reasons 
     Eb                    F 
What reason do you need to die, die. Oh! Oh! Oh!
