| Bb | Bb | F | F | x 4
Bb
I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
F
And your dog refused to look at it
Bb
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
F
It was no bigger than a nickel
Bb
And if it don't improve
F
Well then I have to move
Bb F
I never thought that I would end up here
G Bb F (break)
Maybe I should just change my style
G Bb F (break)
But I feel alright when you smile
Bb
I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
F
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
Bb
I decided to have a Bed In
F
But I forgot to invite anybody
Bb
And when I fell asleep
F
The neighbours had a peep
B F
I never thought that I would end up here
G Bb F
Maybe I should just change my style
G Bb F (break)
But I feel all right when you smile
For the rest of the song:
| F | F | Bb | Bb |
(note that the two chords have switched place - F major first, then B flat major)
I have no idea how to tab the the riffs and the solo. Comment below if you have something to add!
