Verse 1
(A major) Tell her (B flat major) about it, (A major) Sheila! (C major) (C minor) (E flat major) (C major)
(C minor) First (E flat major) (C minor) time I (C major) tried it, it was late at night
(C minor) I tied (E flat major) some (C minor) bedsheet (C major) s together,
tied them up real tight
(C minor) Tied (F major) one end to a drainpipe
Threw the other (A flat major) out the window
Oh (D flat major) (A flat major) -oh -oh -oh
Looked (D major) (G major) past the edge forty feet below
I threw (E major) my leg over thought, here I (E minor) go
An (E major) d started climbing down
the (A major) side of the building
Side of the building, climbing right (D major) down
Right down
Got looks from the (Edim) squirrels (E major) in the trees
And feel (D major) ing the (E major) breeze across
my (A major) nightgown
Nightgown
And I was a few feet from freedom
I was just a (D major) few feet from freedom
Then I heard a stop (E major) right there
Put your hands in (E minor) the air (E major)
And I knew that my plan was a fail (G flat major)
Well, getting caught (D major) is the worst
(E major) And that was (A major) only the first
(G flat major) Of the (G sharp major) three failed es (A major) cape attempts
(E major) of Sheila an (A major) d Nell
Three failed escape attempts
of Sheila and Nell
Three failed escape attempts
of Sheila and Nell
Second (C sharp major) time I tried it was an (B flat major) other day
(D flat major) There were bedsheets involved
but in a different way
I (G flat major) hid inside the laundry bin
You would not believe the (A major) things I saw
It's Sheila, no, no, no
Waited (A flat major) for hours,
thought I was gonna get stuck
Then it (F major) orderly starts pushing
me towards its truck
Which meant that we was headed (B flat major) out of the building,
out of (B flat minor) the building, headed right (E flat major) out, right out
I was (F major) covered in clothes
through a hole in some hose
I saw a (B flat major) light spread,
saw a little light sprout
Knew I was a few feet from freedom,
really just a (E flat major) few feet from freedom
Oh, then I heard the (F major) or derly shout,
Look, a foot's sticking out!
And he lifted off my veil (G major)
Oh yeah, the (E flat major) warden was beckoned
(F major) And so (B flat major) comes (G major) the second of the (C major) three
(F major) Felt escape attempts of Sheila Nance (B flat major)
And (E flat major) after that I said, Forget the clever plan
I saw (B flat major) an opportunity and I just ran
Got as (C major) far as the highway
Stuck out my thumb
A (F major) car slowed up
and here the warden comes (B flat major)
She called me a filthy, foul, (E flat major) dirty (Edim) idiot
That (F major) was exactly how the third time went
(B flat major) And when they brought her back,
she pulled a drain pipe down
(E flat major) And flooded (B flat major) the whole floor
Screw you, Miss Asp
So bad
It's quite a story
Unbelievable, in fact
But that ain't really how (B flat minor) it (B flat major) happened
It's just what I say
Cause I did get in the car
And as it drove away
I (E flat major) thought of where it came from
And I thought of where I'd (D flat major) go
Oh
(C major) Where am I gonna sleep tonight?
I don't (G minor) know (C major) I (G minor) ain't got no family
(C major) got no coin in my (G minor) purse.
Yeah, life was bad at school,
(C major) life before it was (G minor) worse.
And I ain't (A minor) been a civilian since (D major) 53, (A minor)
and I'm sure the world's
changed (D major) substantially.
(A minor) Inva (B flat minor) sion is scary and (E flat major) so, so unfair,
but at (B flat minor) least I have a purpose
and I'm (E flat major) respected there.
Hey (F major) driver, hey driver, hey, I'm not of age
You best take me back, back,
back, back to my cage
Exile (B flat minor) to nation I went
Oh, (G flat major) so embarrassingly (Fsus4)
(F major) Of my own consent (D flat major) (B flat minor)
(B flat major) (B flat minor) (B flat major) Last time I tried
it was a different affair
I (B flat minor) (B flat major) (B flat minor) tied (B flat major) some (B flat minor) bedsheets together
an (B flat major) d I stood on a chair
Tied (B flat minor) (B flat major) (E flat major) one end to a drainpipe
The other round my (D flat major) neck
Oh heck
Without (E flat major) any prep, I (F major) took a (Fsus4) step
And (F major) I could feel (B flat major) the air leave my body
Air leave my body, it (E flat major) got real (E flat minor) tight
I (E flat major) never copped to this (Fsus4) type of shit
But I have to (F major) admit, it didn't (B flat minor) feel right
I was just a (D flat major) few breaths from freedom,
but it didn't feel (E flat minor) much
like (E flat major) freedom.
And then (F major) the train brake broke,
and I let out a croak.
An (G major) d the water rained down on me. (E major)
I don't believe in signs,
(G flat major) but (B major) I can read between the lines. (A flat major)
So I guess (E major) this is where I'm
sup (G flat major) posed to be, hey. (G major)
And with the (C major) rain pouring down
inside of the building,
pouring right (F major) down, right down.
I lit a (G minor) hidden ci (G major) garette
as I stood soaking wet in my nightgown, (C major)
nightgown.
Hold the cage, defied my freedom
Now I need my (F major) own kind of freedom
Running away is a bore,
(G major) so I don't (C major) do that no more
(A major) I see a (F major) battle, I fight (G major) , I fight,
I'll (C major) show you how nice (A major) I may be (F major) fucked in my head,
(G major) but hey, at (C major) least I ain't dead
(A major) My fame will (D major) go on and on
(G major) and on up in my (A major) head
But (A minor) now you (F major) want it to rise, (G major)
that's how I (C major) fought, I sur (A major) vived
And the (D major) three failed escape attempts
to (G major) steal our name (C major)
The three (F major) failed escape attempts
to steal our name
Freedom! (A minor) I (D major) need to jump off a tree
And the three failed escape attempts
to steal our name
I Hate Bowling
