Wig In A Box chords by Hedwig

A / Ab/C#m / F#m / Gmaj7

D

A     Ab/C#m        (play like this: -4-7-6-6-0-0-)
On nights like this
F#m7   Gmaj7     D
When the world's a bit amiss
    E
And the lights go down
 A         E  E7
Across the trailer park
A
I get down
Ab/C#m
I feel had
F#m7     Gmaj7     D
I feel on the verge of going mad
  E              A
And then it's time to punch the clock

A       E
I put on some make-up
F#m       C#m
And turn up the tape deck
D      A       E    F#7
And pull the wig down on my head
Bm     E
Suddenly i'm miss midwest
A    Ab/C#m  Gmaj7
midnight checkout queen
A    D
Until i head home
  E       A    G   D
And put myself to bed

A     Ab/C#m
I look back on where i'm from
F#m7    G     D
Look at the woman i've become
    E
And the strangest things
  A      E
Seem suddenly routine
A         Ab/C#m
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
F#m      G        D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
  E       A
Of towering velveteen
A       E
I put on some make-up
F#m       C#m
And some lavern baker
D      A         E   F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Bm      E      A    Ab/C#m Gmaj7
Suddenly i'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A    D
Until i wake up
  E      A     G   D
And turn back to myself

A           Ab/C#m
Some girls they got a natural ease
F#m     Gmaj7    D
They wear it any way they please
      E
With their french flip curls
  A      E
And perfumed magazines
A
Wear it up
Ab/C#m
Let it down
F#m     Gmaj7       D
This is the best way that i've found
     E        A
To be the best you've ever seen

A       E
I put on some make-up
F#m       C#m
And turn up the eight-track
D        A         E   F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm      E      A
Suddenly i'm miss farrah fawcett
Ab/C#m Gmaj7
From tv
A    D
Until i wake up
  E       A
And turn back to myself

D
Shag, bi-level, bob
C
Dorothy Hammil do,
D
Sausage curls, chicken wings
   C
It's all because of you
     D
With your blow dried, feather back,
C
Toni home wave, too
D
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
   C
It's all because of you
   Bb
It's all because of you
   A7           G
It's all because of you

A       E
I put on some make-up
F#m     C#m
turn up the eight-track
  D      A         E    F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm     E        A
Suddenly i'm this punk rock star
  Ab/C#m  Gmaj7
Of stage and screen
A      D
And I ain't never
  E       A
I'm never turning back
