Humour Of The Situation

Biography:

Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated BNL) is a Canadian alternative rock band currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart, formerly featuring Andy Creeggan and Steven Page. Page left the band amicably in February 2009 to pursue solo projects, and March 7th, 2009 saw the band's first show on stage as a foursome in Orlando, Florida. Tyler Stewart proudly emblazoned his drum-set with a "Fantastic 4" logo. In March 2010, they released 'All In Good Time', their first post-Page studio album.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Pretty easy song off BNL's 2000 album "Maroon". In the U.S. it's spelled "Humor",
in Canada it's spelled "Humour". I figured I'd go with "Humour" since that's what
it says on the back of my "Maroon" CD. Anyways:

[Intro]
Gmaj7, Em7 (x4)

[Verse 1]
G Em7 Cadd9
When you walked in, I said with a grin
D G
That we were just talking about you
Em9 Cadd9
We all had to lie because you would cry
D
If you knew we were laughing at you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Eb+ Em G/F
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
C D7sus G D7sus
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi

[Chorus]
G Em7
Come on now, now
Cm
Come on now, now
Am D G
Enjoy the humour of the situation
Em7
Come on now, now
Cm
Come on now, now
Am D
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Instrumental]
Gmaj7, Em7 (x2)

[Verse 2]
I said on the phone "Don't wait 'till I'm home"
But I'm sure I could hear you crying
I said where I was, but you doubt it because
It's the caller I.D. you're buying

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn

[Chorus] (x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Bridge]
C G/B Bb F/A
Have you heard the one about the boy
Fm C G C
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
G/B Bb F
He woke up with egg on his face
Fm C D
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street

[Chorus] (x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Verse 3]
As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me
I felt a chill because I was still
Wearing the emperor's new clothes

[Pre-Chorus 3]
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house

[Pre-Chorus 4]
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:

[Chorus] (x3)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Coda]
G, Em7, Cm, Am, D, Am, D, G

[End on G]
