PREVERSE:  Bm, G, D, A  x2


VERSE:

Bm                      A
Going to the playground tetherball court
G                          D
Meeting with my friends to play my favorite sport
Bm                   A
Making my way to the tetherball ring
G                   D
And all I saw was a tetherball string

Bm                     A
Next to the ring was a bully standing tall
G                            D
I wonder what he did with my precious tetherball
Bm                      A
Before I could ask him, he grabbed me
G                       D
And pulled me up to the tetherball string


CHORUS:

Bm                      G
Getting hit around on a tetherball string
D                       A
Getting hit around on a tetherball string
Bm                       G
I don't wanna be on this tetherball string
D                            A
But I'm stuck, tied, to this tetherball string


VERSE 2:

Bm                 A
My whole world was spinning 'round and 'round
G                          D
Spinning all day 'till the sun went down
Bm                   A
That's when I saw my little tetherball
G                             A
Couldn't quite reach it but I tried to call


BRIDGE:

Bm
Tetherball (tetherball)!
A
Tetherball (tetherball)!
D
Tetherball (tetherball)!
A
Tetherball (tetherball)!
