A Section

E(let ring)            A
We are the opening band
E                      C#m       A
We are here to do five or six or seven songs
       Am               B                         A B
“Don’t go too long, and get the hell off the stage”
E                      A
We are the opening band
      E                     C#m         A
We’re probably not the band you came to see tonight
    Am                   B          A  E
But it’s alright, ’cause soon we’ll go away

B Section

          A               Am                   E       G#
And we’re wondering, just where the hell’s the sound guy?
   A                Am           E     G#
He disappeared just after we got up here
     A          Am                E            G7         
He’s probably behind the building rolling up a fattie
             F#7(chord figure)   B7
And he’ll be gone until our last song

A Section

E              A
We got a VW van
  E                      C#m          A
I had to sell every Star Wars™ figure that I had
    Am            B                 A B
And ask my Dad to co-sign for the loan
E                               A
We don’t got a whole lot of fans
E                      C#m
Nobody asks for our autograph
     A              Am           B       A               E
And, sad to say, as of today, no panties have been thrown

B Section

          A            Am                 E        G#
And we’re wondering if this was worth the drive here
   A                  Am             E     G#
We spent six hours in traffic on the highway
    A                Am                E
For fifty bucks, and half price on the cheese fries
         G7              F#7(chord figure)
And free Miller® Lite on tap
                   B7
Who can drink that crap?

Bridge
   E                                  F#11/E
My cousin lives in town, and we’ll be crashing at his place
           G6/E                                     Aadd9/E
Unless his girlfriend’s home from college and she’s staying for the weekend
    Aadd9                           Am11
And if she is, then we will have to go and park the van
           E
Behind the IHOP by the Turnpike
                               E(breaK)
And we’ll sleep in the back seat

Bridge 3
          A              Am                 E     G#
And we’re wondering just where the headline act is
        A               Am            E        G#
They’re prob’ly getting wasted in the green room
    A                 Am               E
And they don’t give a rat’s ass who we are
             G7               F#7(chord figure)
So when they start to play up here
                            B7
We’re gonna drink all their beer

We are the opening band
   E                         C#m       A     
We hope that all of you sign up on our mailing list
    Am               B                      A  B
And buy our disc and t-shirts (in black and gray)
E                      A
We are the opening band
    E                  C#m    A
And we only got about 25 more minutes left
       Am            B         A       E
That’s all we get to blow your ass away

Ending
