Verse 1
(A minor) When he was young,
he (G major) sang in the band and his (F major) fans all looked the same (E major)
And the fans (A minor) he had were (G major) younger than he
and they (F major) loved to scream his name (E major)
They'd (C major) leave at the end of the (E major) third show,
go (A minor) home to talk of the (G sharp major) fun
Well, (A minor) isn't nice the (G major) parents would say,
well (F major) isn't nice you've (E major) got someone
Someone (A minor) to idolize, (G major)
he (F major) must look twice his (E major) size
I (A minor) think it's great you're (G major) going
through a phase (F major) (E major)
And I'm (A minor) awfully glad it will (G major) all be
over (F major) in a couple of (E major) days
Verse 2
(E major)
Well, the (A minor) cal endar changed and the (G major) pages fell off,
but the (F major) singer remained the same (E major)
And he (A minor) never grew tired of (G major) singing his song,
and his (F major) fans still called his name (E major)
They'd (C major) leave at the end of the second (A minor) show, (C major)
go home to talk of the (G sharp major) fun
For (A minor) most of the fans were (G major) married by then,
so they (F major) had to be in by (A minor) one

Verse 3
I'm (A minor) awfully glad, the (G major) husbands would say,
I'm (F major) awfully glad you (E major) got someone
Someone, (A minor) I real (G major) ize,
who (F major) used to look twice his (E major) size
I (A minor) think it's great you (C major) still
remember his (F major) name (E major)
And I'll (A minor) bet if he knew you were
(G major) there for the show
He'd be (F major) awfully glad you (E major) came
Verse 4
(E major)
"The (A minor) time has come," the (G major) Walrus said,
"to speak (F major) of other things"
(E major) Like a (A minor) fallen star who (G major) works in a
bar where (F major) yesterday is king (E major)
The (C major) fans will stay for an (A minor) hour or so,
they still (C major) remember his (G sharp major) fame
But the (A minor) time has come the (G major) Walrus said,
"to (F major) call your fans by name"
Outro 1

(A minor) (G major) (F major) (E major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) (E major)
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (E major) (A minor) (G major)
