The Boys Light Up Chords

Capo: 2nd fret (D)

[Verse]
Am                          F
I wanna tell you about my mountain home,
G                      Am
Where all the ladies' names are Joan,
Am                          F
when her husband works back late at night,
G
hopes are up for trouser's down,
          Am
with the hostess on the business flight.
             F
Taxi in her Mercedes drive,
G                     Am
I hope that driver's coming out alive,
Am
the garden it is Dorseted,
       F
that lady she's so corseted,
G                       Am
she's got fifteen ways to lead that boy astray.
Am
Thinks he's one and only,
          F
but that lovely she's so lonely,
      G
she pumps him full of breakfast,
          Am
and she sends him on his way.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
What a sing song dance,
        G
what a performance,
        F
what a cheap tent show,
   E
oh no no no no no,
 
[Chorus]
G        Am
then the boys light up,
         F
then the boys light up,
         G
then the boys light up,
         Am
then the boys light up, light up, light up (x2)

[Instrumental]
Am  F  G  Am
 
[Verse]
Am            F
Silently she opens the drawer
G
Mother's little helper,
     Am
is coming out for more,
Am                       F
Stategically positioned before the midday show,
     G
The back is arched, those lips are parched,
  Am
repeated blow by blow,
Am                        F
Later at the party where all the MP's rave
           G
About the hummers she's been givin',
         Am
and the money that they saved,
Am
To her it is skin lotion,
F
him promotion too,
  G                            Am
that flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
What a sing song dance,
        G
what a performance,
        F
what a cheap tent show,
   E
oh no no no no no,
 
[Chorus]
G        Am
then the boys light up,
         F
then the boys light up,
         G
then the boys light up,
         Am
then the boys light up, light up, light up
 
G        Am
then the boys light up,
         F
then the boys light up,
         G
then the boys light up,
         Am
then the boys light up, light up, light up
 
[Chorus Variation]
G  Am
      then the boys light up,
F
      then the boys light up,
G
      then the boys light up,
         Am
then the boys light up, light up, light up
 
G  Am
      then the boys light up, (then the boys light up)
F
      then the boys light up, (then the boys light up)
G
      then the boys light up, (then the boys light up)
         Am
then the boys light up, light up, light up
