(Play root notes)
C      Am       F                          G
Oh JK Rowling what're you doing with your time?
C                          Am           F
Giving all your money to charity and I guess
                  G
that sounds just fine but I'm
 C                         Am
Wondering if you've got a couple more jots
C                                F
Maybe you could, I don’t know, crack a laptop, oh
C                   F
Do it as a favor to me
C                        Am
Do it for the kids or do it for charity
      F              G
Yeah do it for the HPA, oh
F                         G       C
I don’t really care just do it today


[Intro riff]


(Play root notes or other chord tones)
     C          G              C
I’m giving absolute creative freedom
 F                       G
Maybe you could write up a screenplay
       C              Am    
Or a prequel musical for Broadway
       F             G                C
Or collaborate on a comic with Joss Whedon
      F                 G
Or a miniseries for the BBC
    C            Am
And any of that sounds good to me
   F                    G
I suggest you avoid cartoons
           C               Am
Or giving Fox a chance to cancel you
    F         G                  C (walk down) Am
And after considering this one pretty  carefully
              F        G  C
Please don’t make an MMORPG
     Full chords: F           G            C
Cause that would totally destroy my producti-vi-ty, so


C      Am       F                          G
Oh JK Rowling what're you doing with your time?
C                          Am           F
Giving all your money to charity and I guess
                  G
that sounds just fine but I
C                              Am
Was wondering if you've got a couple more jots
C                                F
Maybe you could, I don’t know, crack a laptop, oh
C                   F
Do it as a favor to me
C                        Am
Do it for the kids or do it for charity
      F              G
Yeah do it for the HPA, oh
F                         G
I don’t really care just do it
F                         G
I don’t really care just do it, no
F                         G       C
I don’t really care just do it today
