Subject: CRD: I don't like mondays by the boomtown rats

All right, I have tried to find out the chords to I don't like mondays
by the Boomtown Rats. I do not claim these are the right ones, but they
come pretty close (I put the chords in the song by listening to the
tape, so there might be one or two wrong ones). The only thing is that
in the original song, it seems that all is tuned 3/4 notes lower, but
I've searched for not-to-difficult-to-play chords.
I got the text from listening to the tape, so there also might be some
slight mistakes in it.

I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - THE BOOMTOWN RATS
----------------------------------------

The Csilicon chip inGside her head

Gets Fswitched to overGload

And Cnobody's gonna go to Gschool today,

She's gonna Fmake them stay at Ghome,

And a daddy doesn't underGstand it,

He always Csaid she was good as Fgold,

And he can Fsee no reasons

Cos there Fare no reasons

What Freason do you need to be Gshown


Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays,

Tell me Fwhy I don't like Gmondays,

Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays,

I wanna Fshoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - Goot

The whole day down.


The CTelex machine is Gkept so clean

And it Ftypes to a waiting Gworld,

And CMother feels so shocked

Father's Gworld is rocked,

And their Fthoughts turn to

Their Gown little girl.

a Sweet sixteen ain't that Gpeachy keen,

No, it Cain't so neat to adFmit defeat,

They can Fsee no reasons

Cos there Fare no reasons

What Freasons do you Gneed


Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays

Tell me Fwhy I don't like Gmondays

Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays

I wanna Fshoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - Goot

The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down...


And all the Cplaying's stopped in the Gplayground now

She Fwants to play with her Gtoys a while,

And Cschool's out early and Gsoon we'll be learning

And the Flesson today is Ghow to die.

And then the a bullhorn crackles,

And the Gcaptain tackles,

With the Cproblems and the how's and Fwhy's

And he can Fsee no reasons

Cos there Fare no reasons

what Freason do you need to Gdie


Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays

Tell me Fwhy I don't like Gmondays

Tell me Cwhy I don't like Gmondays

I wanna Fshoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - Goot

The whole day down.


Since the original is played on piano, chances are that you won't like
it as much on guitar, but I think it sounds reasonably well.
