Ab7sus    Ab7           Ab6sus4     Ab6      Ab7sus4 
                 See those trees

Ab7               Ab6sus4    Ab6
Bend in the wind

Ab7sus4      Ab7     Ab6sus4    Ab6          Ab7sus4
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me

Ab7           Ab6sus4      Ab6
You see I try to resist

    Ab7 (Played throughout)
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl

     Ab7sus4                 Ab7
A rubberband girl me

    Ab7sus4                  Ab7
A rubberband girl me

      Ab7sus4          Ab7            
Oh I wanna be a rubberband girl

Ab7sus4                            Ab7
                (A rubberband girl, she.)

(Same as verse)
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I gotta land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up

(Repeat refrain)

Ab7 (Throughout)
Give like a rubberband
Twang like a rubberband
Snap like a rubberband
Rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub

Ab7sus4                Ab7                         Ab6sus4     Ab6
One rubberband won't keep you up

Ab7sus4                  Ab7                         Ab6sus4    Ab6    
Two rubberbands won't keep you up

Ab7sus4                    Ab7                              
Three rubberbands won't keep you up
Here I go......(aDLib)
.... Yeah!   (Repeat and fade)
