By the door,

A lady begged;
"Would I come,
       C
On the floor?"

  F
A-bove the band,
   Cdim
My voice was heard,
      C
Quite suddenly,
   Am             D7
It had occured to me;
G7   C
 I'm Bored!

          C7
With expo-ses of LSD.
    F
I'm bored,
With Frank Sinatra's,

 Drinking different,

 Coloured wines,
   C      C7
Or beers,

F
 Just quite frankly,
Leaves me bored to,
C (n.C)
 Tears for souvenirs...

    F
And quite apart,
     Cdim
From what one hears,
     C
I've been like this,
    Am
For years and years,
     D7
You see?
G7  C
 En-nui.

Chorus 2:

    F
I'm bored,W
ith Mother Nature,
Or her son,

And so,
I just poke out,
My big red tongue,
And...

 (*Raspberry*)
G7   C
 I'm bored.

Bridge 1:

C
 I'm tired of art!
(Drawing bored),
Sex is a drag!
(In a boreding house,
I daresay). 
Awk! Australians bore me!

A-bore-iginals, don't you?)
(n.C)
 I'm bored to death!
(Like mortar bored)

I hate each,

Julie Andrews film,

They've made,
    F
I'm just a nasty,
              C
Narrow-minded jade.

Don't think that,
       Cdim
I will smile at it,
    C
I'm not a,

Chorus 3:

    F
I'm bored,
With with-it men,
In spotty ties,
    C
Who hum,
(Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm),
         C7
Tiresome tunes,
Like Eidelweiss.
F
 I'm bored,
And when I hear it
              D7 (n.C)
In a trice, I shout;
G7   C
 I'm bored!

Coda:

    D7
The only thing,
                    G7
That ever interests me...
   C
Is ME!
(Me! Me! Me! Me!)...

(Repeat 'me's' to Fade)
